		<description><![CDATA[The third BiReCon conference on bisexuality research is just three months away now &#8211; on 9th August 2012. A day later the annual BiCon conference begins &#8211; a yearly gathering of bi and bifriendly people with a much broader programme. Held in Bradford the day before BiCon begins, the BiReCon conference brings together academics and others interested in bisexuality research, and other research and theory work that has bi relevance. You don&#8217;t have to be an academic or work in a university to attend &#8211; though if you do it&#8217;s an unparalleled networking and learning opportunity. Find out more about booking on the BiCon website.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Call for Papers &#8211; BiReCon 2012: Bisexuality and mental health **Deadline extended to 31st March 2012**Research suggests that bisexual people are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidality than lesbian, gay or heterosexual people. Biphobia and bisexual invisibility can mean that if bi people seek help from health professionals and therapists they are not always well supported. However it is also clear that many bisexual people experience benefits to their mental wellbeing from being bi, such as a sense of independence, self-awareness and authenticity and an ability to develop identities and relationships without restrictions. In this conference we aim to explore both mental health problems and mental wellbeing for bisexual people. BiReCon is a conference for anyone with an interest in contributing to, or finding out about, current work on bisexuality. The conference aims to bring together academics, professionals, activists, and the bisexual community. It is organised by BiUK (www.biuk.org) and is held every two years – see the BiUK website for information about past BiReCons. This year it will take place on Thursday 9thAugust 2012 at Bradford University. Confirmed keynote speakers include: - Dr Roshan das Nair (University of Nottingham / Nottingham University NHS Trust) &#8216;Intersectionality: Complicating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A number of short films taken from the presentations at August’s BiReCon international academic &#38; research conference on bisexuality are available on YouTube. Speakers include Meg Barker from BiUK, John Sylla from the American Institute of Bisexuality, Jenny Kangasvuo on bisexuality in Finland, Miguel Obradors on Deconstructing Biphobia and much more. Volunteers have since come forward to add subtitles to, and transcripts of, the BiReCon films. This makes them more accessible to people with hearing difficulties (or no sound on their computer) and to people whose everyday language is not English. Here are the first few subtitled versions: * Robyn Ochs: Why we need to &#8216;get bi&#8217; * Anna Einarsdottir: Civil partnerships * Miguel Obradors: biphobia You can also see these films displayed in the random video box to the right of the news stories, here on BiMedia.org]]></description>
