Meeting Description: 

5th BAAL Gender and Language Special Interest Group Event (GaLSig):
Gender and Language in the Public Space

Date: Tuesday 20th September 2011; 10.00am to 4pm.
Place: Centre for Interdisciplinary Research into Language and Diversity, 
Aston University, Birmingham, UK.

Invited Speakers:

Professor Deborah Cameron, University of Oxford
Dr Louise Mullany, University of Nottingham
Dr Lia Litosseliti, City University, London
Dr Jo Angouri, University of West England 
Dr Sylvia Shaw, Middlesex University
Dr Judith Baxter, Aston University

The focus of this event is on theoretical and empirical research that 
examines gender in relation to public and institutional discourse in domains 
such as Parliament, government, business, leadership, the media, law, 
education, academia, medicine and religion. During the day, we hope to 
address some of the following questions:

- What can the discipline of Gender and Language contribute to an 
understanding of gendered discourses in public settings? 
- Are women disadvantaged in certain public settings, or is this now the 
wrong question to ask?
- To what extent should scholars aim to make their research available to 
users and practitioners? 
- Where scholars have been involved in community engagement, how 
successful has this been?  
- With Research Councils currently prioritising projects with social and 
economic impact, what kind of impact can gender and language 
researchers make? At least one session will be devoted to Research 
Council funded projects on this topic, and more broadly, to what constitutes 
a successful grant application in our field.

Registration opens: March 2011

Fees for the event: £35 non-BAAL members; £30 BAAL members; £20 full-
time students.

Please register on: http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lss/news-events/conferences-
seminars/gender-and-language-interest-group-event/

Abstracts will be available on the website soon! 

The day will comprise papers by the invited speakers who will present their 
work in 30-minute sessions followed by time for a brief discussion. At the 
end of the day, we will hold a plenary to discuss some of the key issues 
raised.

Papers will be approximately 30 minutes long with 10 minutes for questions.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-
6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and 
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.
