Meeting Description:

The Lavender Languages & Linguistics conference series has a rich history of
examining language use and representation in relation to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, trans* and/or queer life, as well as language and sexuality more
broadly. In April 2017, LavLang will be held in the UK for the first time,
having been hosted annually by American University (Washington, D.C.) since
1993. We anticipate that, by bringing LavLang24 to Europe, more students and
scholars with an interest in language and sexuality will be able to join our
conversation.

Keynote speakers are:

Dr Helen Sauntson, York St John University (UK), 
Professor Paul Baker, Lancaster University (UK).

The conference will also include remarks on the past and future of language
and sexuality research by Professor William Leap, American University (USA).

The conference series proudly maintains a ''no attitude'' atmosphere, which
will continue at LavLang24 in Nottingham: all attendees should feel welcome in
what will be a supportive and collaborative space.


Call for Papers:

University of Nottingham
28-30 April 2017

We invite abstracts for presentations which explore both macro and micro
contexts, but which acknowledge the need to position research into
site-specific practices within broader contexts of social, cultural and
linguistic theory. Papers will be presented in English, but research on all
linguistic contexts is welcomed and encouraged. Possible topics include, but
are by no means limited to:

Language, sexuality and pedagogy
LGBTQ+ discourse
Literary and media representations of LGBTQ+ life
(Anti)homophobic and transphobic discourses, and other languages of
discrimination
Pornography and/or the language of desire
Queer linguistics and (hetero/homo)normativity
Variationist approaches to LGBTQ+ language/identity
Intersectionality, language, and sexual identity
Language, sexuality, and affect

Abstracts are invited for individual papers, poster presentations, and panels.
Panel organisers are responsible for the invitation and selection of
abstracts, and the submission of a panel proposal: there should be between 4-8
papers included in a panel. You are welcome to advertise a call for
submissions to your panel via our  ‘Sessions under development’ page; please
contact lucy.jones at nottingham.ac.uk to arrange this.

All abstracts should be no more than 250 words. Proposals for panels should
include an overall abstract (also 250 words) as well as titles and abstracts
for all intended panel members. All paper presentations, including those
within panels, will be a maximum of 20 minutes.

Deadline for individual abstracts and panel proposals: 3rd October 2016

Abstract submissions will open in June 2016 via our website
www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/lavlang24.
