Subject: Call for editors Gender and Language


The journal Gender and Language is inviting applications for
Co-editors of the journal.

Gender and Language, the journal of the International Gender and
Language Association (IGALA), is published by Equinox and has been
running since 2007. Gender and Language offers an international forum
for language-based research on gender and sexuality from feminist,
queer, trans and nonbinary perspectives. The journal showcases
research on the social analytics of gender and sexuality in discourse
domains that include institutions, media, politics, everyday
interaction, among others.

The journal encourages research on the implications of different
definitions of gender and sexuality as well as different approaches to
analyzing the production and interpretation of texts and speech, and
aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue. Gender and Language is the
leading journal for research on language, gender, and sexuality, with
a current Journal Impact Factor of 1.3 (Clarivate Analytics 2022
data). The journal ranks as #115 out of 1001 journals in Language and
Linguistics and #43 out of 190 journals in Gender Studies. For further
information on the journal, please see
https://journal.equinoxpub.com/GL/about.

The co-editor positions are a three-year term (July 1, 2025 – June 30,
2028), which starts at the end of the current editors' term. Gender
and Language’s current editors, Rodrigo Borba, Kira Hall, and Mie
Hiramoto, will work with the new editors for a 6-month transition
period beginning January 2025.

IGALA particularly encourages scholars from a diversity of
perspectives and geographical locations to apply. Scholars may apply
individually or as a team. The Journal Co-editor posts are elected by
IGALA members. The posts run for a period of 3 years and are renewable
for another 3 years. The last 6 months of the term are spent working
with the newly elected Editors. (The posts may be renewed once only,
and require approval from the IGALA Board 6 months before the end of
the first term).
