MA in Gender and Language

[Ana Cristina Ostermann]

Dear Anna,

In an attempt to answer your question in a very objective way and settle down this matter -- and despite being aware that a number of names of wonderful scholars will be left out -- I would like to point you below to just a few of the scholars that come to mind who carry out research on language and gender in different regions/universities in Brazil (not including here the hundreds of those who do research on gender in the interface with other disciplines!). It is of course up to you to go after them/the MA programs where they teach/advise. 

For a more thorough survey of scholars who work in the area, I would like to point you to the very helpful academic search engine *Lattes (CNPq)* at:

Maria, that´s what I meant, I was VERY specific about which departments and Unis, I named them and also added I knew what was up in Rio but not the rest of the country - which is HUGE. I believe my email was really clear, but I can be clearer, no problem.

Psy people were great - just read what I wrote - but bureocracy didn´t help and so the professors from Linguistics, who my research needed, not to mention people in Psychiatry and Neurology which help me, but it´s all unofiicial, and everything has to be official here. I stick to what I wrote, that was my experience and it´s been like this for five years, almost six. I heard about the conference, but as I said, and will repeat, I can´t leave Rio. I attended to the Psycholinguistics International Meeting here and it was great, could meet and get in touch with a lot of other researchers and that brought a lot of help to my work. 

Again, I beg people who could give me the name of a department who could have my work to come foward and do it, please. I have been EVERYWHERE and the research just won´t fit and they say I have to make it fit and cut the neurological part or the psy part and so on. But how? This is cutting on knowledge!

Most of students at Docs and MA don´t complain or criticize because they are afraid of backlashes, that do come, be that a cut on their sponsoring or even having their papers turned down. That is another reason why things won´t get any better, not so soon, on Languages research in Rio and that has got to change. The broader, the freer, the better.

Thanks for your reply,

Anna
