California Institute of Integral Studies</a> in San Francisco, CA on 27-29 March 2020. The Conference has a rich history of examining language use and representation in relation to LGBTQ+ life, including linguistics, sociolinguistics, (critical) discourse analysis,
and the analysis of communication in various text genres, modes and media, as well as research into historical, literary, or performance questions. While the language of presentation is English, research concerning languages other than English is welcomed
and encouraged. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We invite abstract submissions from scholars of all backgrounds, including faculty, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and community activists for regular (20 minute) presentations, poster presentations, and
topical panel sessions. Regular paper and poster submissions should be no longer than 350 words and should be anonymized. Abstracts should describe the paper’s/poster’s focus, research method, findings and ties to language and sexuality interests. Topical
panel session proposals are also welcome. Individuals proposing panel sessions are responsible for soliciting and selecting abstracts (4-8 papers), and then submitting a completed proposal (500 word max for entire panel).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This session allows Masters and Doctoral students/candidates as well as advanced undergraduate students to discuss their research and academic plans with colleagues in a supportive forum. It is intended as an opportunity
for students to receive constructive feedback, which might inform their future research.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN-US">Who is this aimed at?<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">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
<u>not</u> intended for those ready to discuss projects that are near completion; those with data and some initial analysis should propose via the main conference stream (i.e. as a regular paper or poster).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">Presenters in this session may have recently determined their research questions and objectives but not yet decided on their methodology. Others 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. Some may have begun to collect their data but will not have not yet explored it systematically.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">Students in these situations will benefit from sharing their ideas with others, hearing about different approaches, and offering feedback to others. Though 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 advice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><b><span lang="EN-US">Please note that due to high demand for this session, abstracts cannot be accepted from speakers who are also intending to submit a regular paper to the conference</span></b><span lang="EN-US">.
Abstracts can also not be accepted from students who have presented in previous years.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN-US">How will it work?<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Presenters will have <b>5 minutes </b>to share their work-in-progress: there will not be time to lay out the theoretical background in detail or go into any specifics. Instead, the aim is to offer brief highlights of
a project’s aims, the approach that might be/is being taken, and any very preliminary findings or observations. Presenters are welcome to use slides/visual aids, but this is not a pre-requisite of participation in the session. Each presentation will be followed
by a 5-minute informal discussion session with the audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you would like to present your research ideas, please email Lucy Jones at
