[Gala-l] Looking towards IGALA12

[Claire Maree]

Dear all,

A reminder that IGALA members interested in organizing the IGALA 12 conference are invited to present their proposal to the IGALA Board at a meeting ahead of IGALA 11 in London. Note that due to the ongoing pandemic, we are suggesting IGALA 12 be held in 2023.

IGALA is a non-profit organization and welcomes bids to host IGALA conferences from academic institutions active in researching and teaching language, gender and sexuality issues.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please contact Holly Cashman, IGALA President, at <holly.cashman at unh.edu<mailto:holly.cashman at unh.edu>>, so that she can officially register your interest.

Your proposal should include the following information:

• Name and affiliation of: Organizing Team Members & Conference Chair
• Proposed dates (2 at least)
• Proposed location: country, city, specific venue
• General information about the region
• Access to the venue (plane, train, bus & distances)
• Info and pictures of the venue and city
• List of the infrastructure/facilities of the venue
• List of reasons why this would be a good venue to host an IGALA conference (e.g. if the conference facilities can be available for free, as this reduces the registration fees, not been held there before, with a good 'catchment area', famous willing plenary speakers in the area already, etc)
• Accommodation around the area
• Visa info
• Possibilities on themes for the conference
• Estimation of the registration fees (range of prices)
• What would be included in the registration fees
• Possibilities of funding (funding agencies, sponsors)
• Ability to act as treasurer for IGALA and the conference in the two years prior to the conference, i.e. to open a bank account and handle the disbursement of conference travel grants
• Liaison with other associations
• Other items you might like to add to show why this would be a perfect place to host an IGALA conference


Kind regards,
Claire
