Meeting Description:

The intersections of language, gender and sexuality have become
central topics of interest for researchers from many fields, but
gender and sexuality categories are often handled in a simplistic
manner, for example as fixed binary variables. However, these are both
complex categories which require new theoretical understanding and
methodological orientations.

#LangGeSex is a two-day conference bringing together scholars studying
the intersections between language, gender and sexuality from a wide
variety of perspectives, including but not limited to queer and
feminist approaches. The conference will take place at the University
of Helsinki, Finland, on 12–13th October 2023. Presentations can be
held in English or Finnish. All presentations will be given in person.

Call for Papers:

The intersections of language, gender and sexuality have become
central topics of interest for researchers from many fields, but
gender and sexuality categories are often handled in a simplistic
manner, for example as fixed binary variables. However, these are both
complex categories which require new theoretical understanding and
methodological orientations. With the aim of bringing together both
national and international scholars interested in language and gender
and/or sexuality, we are organizing a two-day conference on October 12
and 13, 2023 at the University of Helsinki. All presentations will be
given in person.

The call for papers for the conference is open to all scholars
focusing on language. In particular, we hope to receive abstracts on
studies utilizing queer theories or feminist approaches (e.g.,
intersectional feminism), but we welcome abstracts on any topics
related to language and gender and/or sexuality. Both established and
younger researchers are encouraged to participate. Possible topics
include but are not limited to:

- queer (linguistic) theory/methods
- corpus linguistic approaches to studying language and
gender/sexuality
- ethnographic approaches to studying language and gender/sexuality
- construction of gender and sexual identities in discourse
- queer and trans sociophonetics

With these themes in mind, we have invited two plenary speakers, who
will both also lead a methodological workshop:

Dr. Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham:
Plenary: Constructions of identity and embodiment in the discourse of
trans youth
Workshop: Doing ethnography in queer and trans linguistics: Issues,
concepts, and reflections

Dr. Frazer Heritage, Manchester Metropolitan University:
Plenary: Lavender corpus linguistics: taking stock and moving forward
Workshop: Corpus approaches to language and sexuality: tackling
methodological challenges

Submission details:

Abstracts should be 250 words in length (excluding references), and
they can be written in English or Finnish. Likewise, accepted papers
can be presented either in English or Finnish.
All abstracts should be submitted via email langgesex at helsinki.fi by
May 11th. Instructions for the abstract layout are provided on the
website: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/language-gender-and-se
xuality-theoretical-and-methodological-perspectives/call-papers

Notification of acceptance will be sent in early June.

The conference is funded by the Helsinki Institute for Social Sciences
and Humanities. There is no registration fee for presenters.
