Title: Gender and Transgender in Modern Paganism
Lead Editors: Sarah Thompson, Gina Pond
Estimated Release: November 2011
The recent events surrounding Pantheacon 2011 and the internet-wide debate that followed it have raised awareness publicly of the issues surrounding gender and transgender in the wider Pagan community. This book will comprise a number of chapters, some invited and most by open submission, which will give all sides of the debate an opportunity to clearly state their positions. In a sense, the book will serve as a written equivalent of a talking-stick debate, whilst also making it possible to capture the sense of this historic time, as accurately as possible, in the words of the people involved. Though space is limited in the print version of the book, we hope to make all submitted papers that meet the submission criteria available for download on the web. The publication will be on a not-for-profit basis, with proceeds (if any) donated to a suitable charity/nonprofit (to be determined).
Invited chapters are being solicited from as many key people as possible.
It is our intention to make the book freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) license online as an e-book, supporting the major formats (PDF, Kindle, epub, etc.). Print copies will be made available by print-on-demand and will be orderable online, via Amazon or by order via any bricks-and-mortar bookshop.
