<DIV id=yiv762743200>Hello, Izabel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Donīt mind me commenting your email. The problem with innovation is that, unfortunately, itīs not a part of language studies in Brazil, as most of Language colleges are a conservative niche per se. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my study, for instance, I tried to bring sexuality to my research, connect it to brain studies and what I heard was that it was an inedit study and I would have to fit the frame. Likewise at all Language Colleges, the only one that would be more open were Psychology Colleges, but they wouldnīt have means to deal with the Linguistic issue and they woldnīt be able to make the study centres connect, because of bureocracy and because of professors. Most of them are much more worried than prove their theories than to be open to something new and donīt mind me saying, thatīs why the Math courses and their correlates go much further than ours.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unless Brazilian Language Colleges donīt reformulate their courses, forcing chance onto professors, letting some fresh air get in, we will never have proper Gender and Language research, with all its possibilities and all it can contribute to Language Science and many other fields.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
