  Dear all,

Some of you have recently been added to this list because you attended the 
recent IGALA conference. Because a bulk operation of this kind doesn't 
allow us to send out a welcome message, it's included here. In case you 
prefer not to subscribe to GALA-L, you can unsubscribe by following the 
instructions below. But we hope you'll remain a subscriber so you can learn 
about upcoming IGALA activities and events as well as exchange ideas about 
the study of language and gender.

Please do not reply to this message unless your message is intended for the 
entire list. If you want to contact the listowners, follow the instructions 
below.

Thanks,

Mary Bucholtz and Sara Trechter

Welcome to GALA-L, the official listserve of the International Gender and 
Language Association (IGALA). GALA-L began life as a forum for the creation 
of an international organization for the study of language, gender, and 
sexuality. Now that that goal has been achieved, the list has shifted in 
purpose, and it now serves as a way for those with an interest in language 
and gender studies to exchange information and engage in discussion about 
issues in the field.

WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE?

If you did not personally subscribe to GALA-L, you have been automatically 
added because you presented your work at the most recent meeting of the 
International Gender and Language Association or because you have joined 
IGALA. Being subscribed to GALA-L is the best way to stay informed about 
IGALA activities and events. If you do not want to subscribe to GALA-L, see 
the instructions at the bottom of this message.

WHAT IS IGALA?

IGALA is a professional organization for scholars and students interested 
in language, gender, and sexuality. For more information about its 
activities, visit the IGALA home page at

WHO SUBSCRIBES TO GALA-L?

GALA-L is open to anyone interested in language, gender, and sexuality, 
including faculty, students, researchers in industry and the non-profit 
sector, and independent scholars. Language and gender studies encompasses 
a wide range of fields, including but not limited to anthropology, area 
studies, cultural studies, education, ethnic studies, gender studies, 
linguistics, literary studies, psychology, queer studies, rhetoric, 
sociology, speech communication, and women's studies.

HOW DOES DISCUSSION ON THE LIST WORK?

GALA-L is closed and unmoderated. This means that only subscribers may post 
to the list, but membership and postings by members are not approved or 
moderated by the listowners. GALA can be used for announcements related to 
language and gender studies (such as calls for papers, conferences, job 
advertisements), for queries about any aspect of the field (teaching, 
research, references, and so on), or for discussion about any topic 
connected to the study of language, gender, and sexuality. The listowners 
reserve the right to remove from GALA-L anyone whose postings to not 
conform to the purpose of the list.

HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION?
