gender, conversation analysis and feminism

[Kate Remlinger]

Dear Liz,

The special issue of Discourse & Society looks exciting. My work is a feminist based approach to conversation analysis whereby I use use Critical Discourse Analysis and cultural practice theory. My research primarily focuses on the constitution of gender and sexuality ideologies through talk, in particular how university students use language to create, maintain, challenge, and change notions of what it means to be women, men, lesbian, gay, and straight. I have also applied this approach to examine gender/sexuality ideologies as represented in pop media, specifically the US television show _Allie McBeal_. I'm very interested in the possibility of contributing to the special issue of Discourse & Society. I'd be happy to send you an abstract, list of publications, etc.

Thank you,
