Meeting Description:

IGALA is the premiere international scholarly organisation for the study of
language as it relates to the construction and representation of gender and
sexuality. Since its founding in 1999, IGALA has been dedicated to supporting
and promoting research on language, gender and sexuality, and to communicating
to the wider world about relevant gender, sexuality and language issues.

The theme of IGALA11 in London in 2020 is Language and the Geopolitics of
Gender. With this theme, we aim to highlight the geopolitical dimensions of
language, gender and sexuality scholarship. Our goal is to showcase research
on configurations of language, gender and sexuality from a diverse range of
cultural, linguistic and geographical contexts, and in particular work that
engages with issues of coloniality, globalisation, migration,
(trans)nationalism and/or modernity. We also aim to encourage discussions of
methodological and epistemological diversity, and of the broader dynamics of
knowledge creation and dissemination in our field.

2nd Call for Papers:

Regular Papers and Posters: Abstracts are invited for papers (oral
presentations and posters) on original, unpublished research related to the
study of language, gender and/or sexuality. We particularly encourage
submissions related to the conference theme of Language and the Geopolitics of
Gender. We welcome diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches and
in the linguistic and cultural contexts considered. Oral presentations will be
20 minutes (with 5 minutes for questions and discussion). Posters will be on
display in a dedicated 2-hour poster session. 

Abstracts should be submitted via EasyAbs
(http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/IGALA11). Abstracts should be no more than
500 words and confined to 1 page of text. References, glossed/transcribed
examples, and images can appear on a second page and do not count toward the
word limit. Abstracts should be submitted as PDF documents and be fully
anonymised. The submission deadline for regular papers and posters is Friday 1
November, 2019 (23:59, AoE: UTC-12).

Panels: We also invite proposals for a limited number of organised panels that
speak directly to the theme of Language and the Geopolitics of Gender.
Proposals may be for panels that are single-length (2 hours with 4 speaker
slots) or double-length (4 hours with 8 speaker slots). Proposals for panels
should include an overall description of the panel topic (max. 500 words) plus
abstracts for each proposed paper (max. 500 words each). Panels will be
required to keep to the regular conference timetable of 30-minute slots
(20-minute talks + 5 minutes for discussion + 5 minutes for changeover). 

Panel proposals should be combined into a single PDF document and be submitted
via EasyAbs (http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/IGALA11), indicating that the
submission is for a panel. Panel organizers need not remain anonymous, though
abstracts for individual papers in the panel should be anonymised. The
submission deadline for panel proposals is Friday 6th September 2019 (23:59,
AoE: UTC-12). 

All submissions will be anonymously reviewed. Notification of acceptance of
panels proposals will happen in mid-October 2019. Notification of acceptance
of regular papers/posters will happen by early January 2020.

Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts, only one of which may be
sole-/first-authored. This limit applies to all types of submissions (regular
paper, poster, panel paper). For any questions, please contact the IGALA11
organizing team. 

Accomodation Information:

A block of rooms in QMUL on-campus housing will be available for IGALA11
attendees. Further details and confirmed prices will be posted on the
conference website soon. Single en-suite rooms (with breakfast included) will
cost approximately £50-60/night, and will be available on a first-come
first-served basis.

Conference Bursaries:

As for previous IGALA conferences, we anticipate being able to offer a number
of bursaries to help support the participation at IGALA11 of postdoctoral
students and/or individuals from economically disadvantaged countries and
institutions. We will circulate information about bursaries as soon as it
becomes available.
