Lavender Languages & Linguistics Conference 27
California Institute of Integral Studies – San Francisco
27-29 March 2020
Call for papers
The 27th annual Lavender Languages and Linguistics Conference will take place at the California Institute of Integral Studies on 27-29 March 2020. The Conference has a rich history of examining language use and representation in relation to LGBTQ+ life, including linguistics, sociolinguistics, (critical) discourse analysis, and the analysis of communication in various text genres, modes and media, as well as research into historical, literary, or performance questions. While the language of presentation is English, research concerning languages other than English is welcomed and encouraged.
We invite abstract submissions from scholars of all backgrounds, including faculty, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and community activists for regular (20 minute) presentations, poster presentations, and topical panel sessions. Regular paper and poster submissions should be no longer than 350 words and should be anonymized. Abstracts should describe the paper’s/poster’s focus, research method, findings and ties to language and sexuality interests. Topical panel session proposals are also welcome. Individuals proposing panel sessions are responsible for soliciting and selecting abstracts (4-8 papers), and then submitting a completed proposal (500 word max for entire panel).
As in past years, there will be a student “works-in-progress” session (graduate students and advanced undergraduates). Please note that graduate student works-in-progress submissions should NOT be submitted through EasyChair: for further information, please email Lucy Jones (lucy.jones@nottingham.ac.uk) or see the conference website.
Submission must be made through EasyChair [https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lavlang27]. The deadline for submissions is 1 October 2019. Questions and requests for more information should be directed to Eric Louis Russell (erussell@ucdavis.edu).
The conference proudly maintains a “no attitudes” atmosphere to ensure that all attendees will benefit from a welcoming, supportive and collaborative conference space. The conference aims at being a safe space following the anti-harassment policy of the Association of Computational Linguistics.
For any complain please contact Eric Louis Russell (erussell@ucdavis.edu) or Michelle Marzullo (mmarzullo@ciis.edu). Rest assured any such contact will be in strict confidence and will be dealt with appropriately.
