New York, USA.

The conference will open Saturday morning, 5 June, with a plenary

Two other individual plenary presentations are scheduled. Professor
Norma Mendoza-Denton of the University of Arizona will speak about
adolescents and adolescence, and Professor Niko Besnier, currently

globalization.

To emphasize the I in IGALA, there will also be a plenary panel
featuring distinguished international language and gender
scholars. Confirmed panelists at present are Professor Momoko Nakamura

The conference will include an extensive poster session as well as
oral presentations selected on the basis of abstracts submitted for

any aspect of the interaction of language with gender and/or
sexuality, and we welcome contributors from anywhere in the world.
The conference closes at lunchtime, Monday, 7 June, 2004, but there
will be several post-conference participatory workshops scheduled the
afternoon of 7 June.  Ithaca is located in the beautiful Finger Lakes
region of central New York State, a pleasant locale for those who
might want to combine a trip to the conference with vacationing.

also such fields as anthropology, education, feminist studies,
philosophy, queer studies, and sociology.  The conference is also
