The Lavender Languages & Linguistics conference series has a rich history of examining language use and representation in relation to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and/or queer life, as well as language and sexuality more broadly. In April 2017, LavLang will
be held in the UK for the first time, having been hosted annually by American University (Washington, D.C.) since 1993. We anticipate that, by bringing LavLang24 to Europe, more students and scholars with an interest in language and sexuality will be able
to join our conversation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria;">
Keynote speakers are: Dr Helen Sauntson, York St John University (UK), and Professor Paul Baker, Lancaster University (UK). The conference will also include remarks on the past and future of language and sexuality research by Professor William Leap, American
University (USA).<o:p></o:p></p>

The conference series proudly maintains a "no attitude" atmosphere, which will continue at LavLang24 in Nottingham: all attendees should feel welcome in what will be a supportive and collaborative space.<o:p></o:p></p>

We invite abstracts for presentations which explore both macro and micro contexts, but which acknowledge the need to position research into site-specific practices within broader contexts of social, cultural and linguistic theory. Papers will be presented in
English, but research on all linguistic contexts is welcomed and encouraged. Possible topics include, but are by no means limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>
