Romance Languages and Social Gender

[Olga Castro Vázquez]

Dear Richard,
I am Olga Castro, a pre-doctoral student at the Universidade de Vigo, in Galicia. I am currently doing resarch on Feminisms and Translation and, more specifically, I am preparing my Thesis on Language, Gender and Translation (Galician <> English). 

The most recent contribution I made was in April 2-4th 2007, when I presented a paper in Aberdeen at the International Conference of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland (Galician Studies panel) entitled:
LINGUAXE E XÉNERO: NOVAS VÍAS PARA A NORMALIZACIÓN LINGÜISTICA DO GALEGO (Language and Gender: New Approaches Proposing Galician Linguistic Normalization).

As far as I am concerned, there are not many works being carried out on this topic in/about Galician (or galego). If you need any further information just let me know. I would be glad to help you.

As for Spanish and/or Catalan, these are some of the names that come to my mind: Carmen Alario, Mercedes Bengoechea, Eulalia Lledó, Mercè Otero, José Santaemilia, Ana Vargas, María Ángeles Calero, Pilar Godayol. I do not know their affiliation, though. 

Best wishes, 
Olga Castro
