<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are Mandy, Katharina and Federica writing on behalf of RiGLS, the research group in gender, language and sexuality at Lancaster University (UK), founded by Dr Jane Sunderland. For more information on RiGLS,
please visit our page: <a href="http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/groups/rigls/index.htm">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We would like to take this opportunity to invite researchers in language, gender and/or sexuality to give a talk in one of our sessions (Term 1: first session 8<sup>th</sup> October, last session 3<sup>rd</sup>
December; but we will have timeslots available in Term 2 too, Jan-March). The sessions usually take place on Wednesdays, from 2.00 to 3.30 but we are happy to accommodate your needs in terms of time and day of the week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We would be delighted to listen to presentations on all aspects of language and gender and/or sexuality and to have fruitful discussions about them. In the past, we offered sessions on gender and politics, gender
in the media, sexuality/gender and literature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Department of Linguistics and English Language is a very vibrant one in terms of both teaching and research and we are only one among many research groups active in the department. You can have a look at all
the Research Groups here: <a href="http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/research/index.htm" target="_blank">
http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/research/index.htm</a>. In the past, we also organized inter-research group talks, e.g. RiGLS and LIP (Language, Identity and Power).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Unfortunately, as by departmental guidelines, we cannot provide travel reimbursement for Master and PhD students, but we could apply for research funds for other categories (e.g. lecturers, professors) and hopefully
pay back your travel/accommodation expenses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If you are interested in giving a talk at RiGLS please keep in touch with us:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
