[Gala-l] Language, Gender and Health Inequalities Event: Friday 29th April at Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK

[Coffey-glover, Laura]

Dear all (with apologies for cross-postings!)

This is a reminder about the upcoming British Association for Applied Linguistics Language, Gender and Sexuality SIG event on Language, Gender and Health Inequalities, which takes place on 29th April at Nottingham Trent University's Clifton Campus, Nottinngham, UK. You can register for the event via our Eventbrite listing here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/14th-baal-lgas-sig-event-language-gender-and-health-inequalities-tickets-275776804847>, and see the full event schedule and find out more about the SIG and our other activities via our BAAL LGaS website<https://baalgensex.wordpress.com/>. Registration is open until 15th April. Please note: this is an in-person event, although there are some online tickets available.


This event aims to bring together researchers, healthcare professionals, advocates and activists who are interested in examining the role that language can play in perpetuating gender/sexuality-related health discrimination, and the possibilities that language analysis can bring for challenging such inequalities. The event will include paper presentations and invited speakers, showcasing cutting edge research on the impact of language in constructing health inequalities in various domains, including healthcare settings, health promotion materials, media (including social media) reporting, government and health education policies. The event also provides opportunities for interested parties to engage in dialogue about how scholarship in health communication, feminist, queer and related fields can bolster the efforts of policymakers to improve the representation and experiences of marginalised communities.



If you have any queries please get in touch, and please pass on to anyone you think might be interested!



All the best

Laura (BAAL LGaS SIG Events Co-ordinator)
