Language, gender and sexuality: theoretical and methodological perspectives 12\u201313th October 2023<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nUniversity of Helsinki, Finland.<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nFirst Call for Papers<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nThe intersections of language, gender and sexuality have become central topics of interest for researchers from many fields, but gender and sexuality categories are often handled in a simplistic manner, for example as fixed binary variables. However, these are both complex categories which require new theoretical understanding and methodological orientations. With the aim of bringing together both national and international scholars interested in language and gender and\/or sexuality, we are organizing a two-day conference on October 12 and 13, 2023 at the University of Helsinki. All presentations will be given in person.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nThe call for papers for the conference is open to all scholars focusing on language. In particular, we hope to receive abstracts on studies utilizing queer theories or feminist approaches (e.g., intersectional feminism), but we welcome abstracts on any topics related to language and gender and\/or sexuality. Both established and younger researchers are encouraged to participate. Possible topics include but are not limited to:<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nqueer (linguistic) theory\/methods<\/span><\/span>
\ncorpus linguistic approaches to studying language and gender\/sexuality<\/span><\/span>
\nethnographic approaches to studying language and gender\/sexuality<\/span><\/span>
\nconstruction of gender and sexual identities in discourse<\/span><\/span>
\nqueer and trans sociophonetics<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nWith these themes in mind, we have invited two plenary speakers, who will both also lead a methodological workshop:<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Dr. Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham:<\/u><\/span><\/span>
\nPlenary: Constructions of identity and embodiment in the discourse of trans youth<\/span><\/span>
\nWorkshop: Doing ethnography in queer and trans linguistics: Issues, concepts, and reflections<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Dr. Frazer Heritage, Manchester Metropolitan University:<\/u><\/span><\/span>
\nPlenary: Lavender corpus linguistics: taking stock and moving forward<\/span><\/span>
\nWorkshop: Corpus approaches to language and sexuality: tackling methodological challenges<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Submission details:<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nAbstracts should be 250 words in length (excluding references), and they can be written in English or Finnish. Likewise, accepted papers can be presented either in English or Finnish.<\/span><\/span>
\nAll abstracts should be submitted via email\u00a0<\/span><\/span>langgegesex(@)helsinki.fi<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0by May 11th.
