		<description><![CDATA[This summer&#8217;s UK bisexual research &#38; academics conference has issued its Call for Papers: Call For Papers BiReCon 2012: Bisexuality and mental healthPlease circulate 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 and is held every two years – see the BiUK website for information about past BiReCons.

		<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>
