*IGALA 9*

Time and Transition: Gender, Sexuality, Discourse and Language

*19-21 May 2016*

*City University of Hong Kong*



*Final Call for Papers*

The International Gender and Language Association (IGALA) is delighted to
announce its next conference, IGALA9, which will take place at City
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong on 19-21 May 2016.

The theme for IGALA 9 is Time and Transition: Gender, sexuality, discourse
and language. This theme reflects Hong Kong, a city in which time and
transition are unusually salient and omnipresent themes in social life.
Working in this context has prompted the organizers to reflect on
timescales and transitions in relation to this conference. How do time and
transition interact with gender, sexuality, discourse and language? And how
is this interaction manifest in the rest of the world?

More specifically:
- How do gender, sexuality, discourse, and language intersect with rapid
change?
- How are transitions, discourse, language, gender, and sexuality mutually
constitutive?
- How are meanings discursively constructed across various timescales in
relation to gender and sexuality?
- How do short-term gender performances persist across time as we interact
in the present?
- How do we project our gendered and sexualized ‘selves’ and societies into
the future while drawing on the past?

We have invited six prominent scholars in the field of language, gender and
sexuality:  Sally McConnell-Ginet, Kira Hall, Mary Bucholtz, Peter A.
Jackson, Jie Yang, Tommaso Milani (
