BAAL LGaS SIG 2023

2 May 2023 – University of Brighton

Call for papers

We are delighted to announce the call for papers for the BAAL LGaS 2023 to take place at the University of Brighton on 2 May 2023. Brighton is recognized as the unofficial LGBTQIA+ capital of the United Kingdom, making it the perfect place to gather and reflect on aspects of language, gender and sexuality. The topic of this year’s event is Dismantling the CIS-tem: queer and trans perspectives on language, gender, and sexuality.

The keynote speakers are:

  *   Lucy Jones, Associate Professor in Sociolinguistics at the University of Nottingham

  *   Alon Lischinsky, Senior Lecturer in Communication & Discourse at Oxford Brookes University

The one-day symposium will include presentations on the theme of the conference. For instance, we invite contributions on topics such as:

  *   Media representation of queer identities and or LGBTQIA communities

  *   Language ideologies, e.g., inclusive language

  *   Language, gender and sexuality in politics

  *   Historical perspectives

  *   Analysis of communication in a variety of genres and spaces (e.g., literature, social media)

Each paper will be allocated 30 minutes (20 presentation, 10 Q&A). The contributions should not exceed 300 words (references excluded) and should be sent to f.formato at brighton.ac.uk<mailto:f.formato at brighton.ac.uk> by 10 February 2023.

This conference aims to bring together the community of scholars in the field, offering a welcoming and inclusive space.


if you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me!


We look forward to receiving your abstracts!
