Taking place for the first time in South America, the conference will provide researchers worldwide with an opportunity to present their work and share ideas in the fields of language, gender, and sexuality.
 
With the theme *Resignifying Gender and Sexuality in Language and Discourse*, IGALA 7 aims to bring together scholars from diverse fields of knowledge as well as geographical regions who are interested in broadening and deepening our understanding of the complex relationships among language, gender and sexuality. In so doing, we encourage new ways of signifying these concepts and their interrelationships, in the following thematic areas:

1. Gender, sexuality, body and identities
2. Gender, sexuality and health
3. Gendered performances as discourse
4. Gender and (dis)empowerment
5. Gender, class, ethnicity and age
6. Gender, sexuality and institutions
7. Gender, media and technology
8. Gender and violence
 
Guest Speakers include:
·      Luiz Paulo da Moita Lopes (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
·      Mary Bucholtz (University of California at Santa Barbara, USA)
·      Kira Hall (University of Boulder, USA)
·      Celia Kitzinger (University of York, UK)
·      Guacira Lopes Louro (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)
 
IGALA 7 will include the following presentation formats:
Plenaries (guest speakers), Special Forums (guest speakers), Oral Presentations, Round Tables (also known as Panels), Workshops, and Posters.
 
Please watch this space for forthcoming announcements regarding call for papers, registration payment and other conference information.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to IGALA 7, 2012, in Brazil!
 
Sincerely,
Ana Cristina Ostermann, IGALA President & IGALA 7 Chair
