<p class=MsoPlainText>We are pleased to invite you to attend the International
Conference on Language and Gender in African Contexts scheduled to take place
at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, from 13-15 April, 2010.
Similar events on this general theme have taken place at the University of
Leeds, U.K., City University, London, U.K., University of Botswana, and the
University of Dschang, Dschang, Cameroon. The Obafemi Awolowo University
conference is planned to be the final in the series. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The main purpose of the conference is to provide an
opportunity for those researching and teaching in the area of language and
gender, directly or indirectly, to share their ideas and experiences, and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>to build up a focus on Africa in the field of language
and gender study. We hope to enhance participants' understanding of language
and gender issues in general in terms of language and language use in Africa.
We also plan to collect some data for a research project that may be of
interest to us all. Lastly, we hope to stimulate interdisciplinary work
among linguists and other colleagues in the social sciences. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
