Join us to celebrate the launch of

Volume 2 of Sprinkle!

Tuesday, April 14, 7-11pm

Thomson House Restaurant

Wow.  The journal is finished and off at the printers.  Even though it is primarily an online project, the editorial board was able to secure enough funding to print a small run of this issue to distribute to contributors, and a few libraries.  The students did an amazing job putting this together and I have been so impressed with the conversations and ideas that we have been able to exchange during the course of working on this project.  We even met all of our deadlines which speaks to the dedication the priority the editorial board placed on making this a professional publication.  I think readers will be very interested in the articles that were included - they represent a wide variety of persepectives, disciplines, and ideas that show the strength and potential in the field of sexual diversity studies. Regrettably, I have to miss the launch party since I will be in San Diego at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association.  Tuesday is a busy day for me: three paper presentations and a book signing!  If you are in San Diego, please stop by one of my paper presentations or the Teachers College Press booth at 4pm instead.

The journal will be posted here next week and you'll be able to read the following articles:
