L. Timmel Duchamp, author and publisher of the groundbreaking Aqueduct Press, discusses the forthcoming Tiptree Symposium.

Most of you have probably already heard that the University of Oregon Libraries will be hosting a symposium later this week to honor Alice Sheldon/James Tiptree Jr. on the centennial of her birth. 

The symposium will kick off with a keynote talk by Julie Phillips, author of the biography:
JAMES
TIPTREE, JR.: THE DOUBLE LIFE OF ALICE SHELDON (St. Martins, 2006), and will also feature a panel discussion with other writers who carried on lively and engaging correspondence with Tiptree, including Ursula K. Le Guin, Suzy McKee Charnas and David Gerrold. I’ll be participating myself, as a panelist on feminist sf publishing with co-panelists Jacob Weisman of Tachyon Publications and Gordon Van Gelder.

The symposium will take place in the Lillis Auditorium, Room 182. Admission is free, however please RSVP here. An exhibit based on the Tiptree Papers will be in Knight Library, first floor, and in Special Collections and University Archives.
