We have now considerably simplified the registration process for this event as it has been brought to our attention that the Eventbrite site asked for a lot of personal information. Many apologies to those of you who have already been through the registration process.

Please also note that our event will now have an additional session in memory of Prof Judith Baxter’s work on language and gender in the workplace as Judith played such an important role for our SIG.

Ethnographies of Language, Gender & Sexuality 

Date: Thursday 26th April 2018; 10.00am to 6.00 pm

The aim of this event is to highlight the important contributions that ethnography can make to the study of language, gender and sexuality. The event encourages a discussion between language, gender and sexuality scholars and linguistic ethnographers, raising questions of theory and methodology, and, above all, offering an insight into a range of current ethnographic studies of language, gender & sexuality in both private and institutional contexts.
