IGALA is the premiere international scholarly organisation for the study of language as it relates to the construction and representation of gender and sexuality. Since its founding in 1999, IGALA has been dedicated to supporting and promoting research on language, gender and sexuality, and to communicating to the wider world about relevant gender, sexuality and language issues.
The theme of IGALA12 2023 is Gender, Language, and Sustainable Organizations.
With this theme, we aim to highlight both
- the many ways in which organizations provide an important context for language, gender and sexuality scholarship, and
- the potential that language, gender and sexuality scholarship has to shape holistically sustainable organizations.
Our goal is to showcase language, gender and sexuality scholarship from diverse cultural, linguistic and geographical contexts, focusing on work that engages with ecological, social, economic, and/or cultural sustainability, particularly within organizational contexts. We also encourage discussions of methodological and epistemological interest to the field of language, gender and sexuality scholarship.
We invite abstracts for the following types of presentations:
- Discussion Panels – panels may include 3 or 6 papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion per paper)
- Individual Paper presentations – On-site or Pre-recorded (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion)
Authors may present a maximum of two presentations, only one of which may be sole-/first-authored. This limit applies to both panel papers and individual papers.
All presentations need to delivered be in English.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed.
1. Discussion Panels
Panel organizers need to submit their proposal (max. 600 words, not including references) directly to the IGALA12 organizers via igala12@uq.edu.au.
Proposals should include:
- a title for and description of the panel
- name and contact email for the panel chair
- names and affiliations for all anticipated participants
Panel organizers will automatically be signed up for reviewing abstracts.
Panel contributors need to submit their abstracts via the submission system at the same time as abstracts for Individual Papers. When doing so, they should indicate that their contribution is intended for a panel, using the title of the panel.

2. Individual Paper presentations
Abstracts for individual papers (max. 400 words, not including references) need to be submitted via EasyChair. Abstracts should be submitted as fully anonymised PDF documents.
Papers should present original, unpublished research related to the study of language, gender, and/or sexuality. We particularly encourage submissions related to the conference theme. We also welcome diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches, and in the linguistic and cultural contexts considered.
All submissions should indicate their presentation preference (panel contribution/individual presentation; on-site live/off-site pre-recorded).
Important dates:
- Abstracts due – 10 January 2023

Following the conference, a selection of presenters will be invited to prepare full papers for consideration for a book proposal to the Palgrave "Studies in Language, Gender & Sexuality" series.
