Meeting Description:

(Session of Lavender Languages and Linguistics 26)

Session summary

This session allows Masters and Doctoral students at the early stages of their
research to discuss their ideas and plans with colleagues in a supportive
forum. It is intended as an opportunity to receive constructive feedback which
might inform students’ future research.

Who is this aimed at?

Presenters must currently be (or be planning to become) a graduate student
working on a topic relevant to the Lavender Languages and Linguistics
conference. This session is not intended for those ready to discuss projects
that are near completion.

Presenters may have collected data they have not yet explored systematically,
but have some preliminary observations they think might be meaningful. Others
may have determined their research questions and objectives but not yet
decided on their methodology. Some may not yet have established their research
questions or approach, but know broadly what they want to do and how it will
fill a gap in the field.

Students in these situations will benefit from sharing their ideas with
others, hearing about different approaches, and offering their thoughts to
fellow presenters. Although presentation slots are limited to graduate
students only, established scholars in language and sexuality/queer
linguistics will also be present in the audience to share their thoughts and
offer advice. This session ran for the first time at LavLang25 and was very
successful.

How will it work?

Presenters will have 10 minutes to share their work-in-progress, followed by
10 minutes for questions. Although this gives less time than a standard
presentation, it ensures that students will have plenty of opportunity to
receive useful feedback on their ideas from the audience.

Presenters should not aim to lay out the full theoretical background of their
project in detail, and instead should focus on brief highlights of their
project’s aims, the approach that might be/is being taken, and any very
preliminary findings or observations.

Call for Papers:

If you would like to present your research ideas, please email Lucy Jones on
lucy.jones at nottingham.ac.uk by 30 November 2018 with a Word document
containing the following:

- Your project’s working title
- Your name, email address, the university where you are a graduate student,
and the graduate program you are enrolled on
- A 150-word (max.) abstract detailing:
- The intended aims and objectives of your project
- Your likely/actual methodological approach
- The likely stage of your research by the time of the conference (e.g. if you
will be establishing your methodology, applying for ethical approval,
beginning data collection, starting your analysis, etc)
- Please keep references to a minimum and do not provide a reference list.

Participation will be confirmed by email in January 2019.

For more information about the Lavender Languages conference, please see

also very welcome to submit abstracts in response to the main call for papers
detailed on this website - this particular session is for those not ordinarily
ready to present their research at a conference.
