Data workshop for new Lavender Language researchers

Organisers: Lucy Jones (Edge Hill University, UK) and Steven Mann (University of South Carolina, USA)

This session provides those at the early stages of a research project with the opportunity to present data gathered so far to an audience of colleagues interested in queer-related subjects. The audience will include interested conference delegates, who will engage in active discussion of linguistic (quantitative or qualitative) and anthropological (such as early ethnographic findings) data presented by a panel of current researchers. Those with preliminary findings and early research data are invited to give a short presentation of (a selection of) their current findings with a description of the analytical methodology that they either intend to use or are in the early stages of engaging with. Presentations which include preliminary analyses or a range of points to raise about the significance of their data are particularly welcomed. The session will be informal, is ideal for graduate students, those in the early stages of a research project, and those engaging with new methodologies for the first time, and will involve the discussion and participation of all present. Please contact Lucy Jones for more information or send a 250-word abstract outlining the project, the type of data being presented, and the significance that it has to the Lavender Languages conference focus to lucy.jones at edgehill.ac.uk by November 27th 2009.
