<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This session allows Masters and Doctoral students at the early stages of their research to discuss their ideas and plans with colleagues in a supportive
forum. It is intended as an opportunity to receive constructive feedback which might inform students’ future research.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Presenters must currently be (or be planning to become) a graduate student working on a topic relevant to the Lavender Languages and Linguistics conference.
This session is <b>not</b> intended for those ready to discuss projects that are near completion.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Presenters may have collected data they have not yet explored systematically, but have some preliminary observations they think might be meaningful.
Others may have determined their research questions and objectives but not yet decided on their methodology. Some may not yet have established their research questions or approach, but know broadly what they want to do and how it will fill a gap in the field.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Students in these situations will benefit from sharing their ideas with others, hearing about different approaches, and offering their thoughts to
fellow presenters. Although presentation slots are limited to graduate students only, established scholars in language and sexuality/queer linguistics will also be present in the audience to share their thoughts and offer advice. This session ran for the first
time at LavLang25 and was very successful. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Presenters will have
<b>10 minutes </b>to share their work-in-progress, followed by <b>10 minutes </b>
for questions. Although this gives less time than a standard presentation, it ensures that students will have plenty of opportunity to receive useful feedback on their ideas from the audience.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Presenters should not aim to lay out the full theoretical background of their project in detail, and instead should focus on brief highlights of their
project’s aims, the approach that might be/is being taken, and any very preliminary findings or observations.
