<p style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">This panel at the 22nd Lavender Languages and Linguistics conference (American University, Washington D.C, February 13-15 2015) will consider the impact of neoliberal discourses
on the construction and representation of LGBT identities and communities. By homonormativity, we refer to Duggan’s (2003) argument that LGBT culture has become assimilationist and no longer rejects or contests dominant heteronormative assumptions and institutions.
In referring to homonationalism, we invoke Puar’s (2007) claim that the queer body has been largely represented as a white one, leading to the othering of non-white bodies within LGBT culture.</font></p>
<p style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"> </font></p>
<p style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Abstracts for papers which question, critique, offer insight into or explore the impact of homonormativity and/or homonationalism on modern LGBT speakers are welcomed. We would be
keen to receive proposals which take a range of linguistic and theoretical approaches to this broad subject.</font></p>
