</span></strong></p>
<p style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">This event has two interrelated general aims: a) to bring into dialogue discourse analysis paradigms and methodologies across disciplines; and
 b) to explore the operation of sexism in the current conjuncture. The event is particularly interested in building bridges – both theoretically and methodologically speaking – between gender and language studies, and feminist cultural studies, sociology and
 social psychology, while also considering activism in this area. How might we learn from each other to better deconstruct, comprehend and resist contemporary gender ideologies and permutations of sexism?
</span></p>
<p style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span></p>
<p style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">During the day, we hope to provide a stimulating encounter to collaboratively advance innovative interdisciplinary approaches to the complex
 workings of power and ideology in discourse, as well as to reinvigorate intersectional feminist politics. The invited speakers will be addressing these questions theoretically, empirically, and/or drawing on their feminist practice/activism, and there will
 be opportunities for discussion.</span></p>
