Meeting Description: 

Workshop on gender and linguistic fieldwork
Location: SOAS, University of London, UK
Workshop date: 8 June 2015

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a platform for fieldworkers to exchange their experiences and reflections on the role gender plays in both their work and personal life while in the field.

A lot has been said about the relationship between gender and fieldwork in anthropology, but no such exchange has yet been initiated in documentary linguistics. By means of this workshop we hope to start bridging that gap, and hopefully make fieldworkers more aware of ways of conceptualising, and relating to both their gendered experience, and gender dynamics in their host communities.

This event is an all-day workshop, with two keynote talks as well as refereed presentations. 

Keynote Speakers:

Natalia Buitrón-Arias, London School of Economics (LSE)
Grégory Deshoullière, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris

Professor Anne Pauwels, SOAS, University of London

There is no need to register in advance: just turn up on the day.
