I have sadly not taken any fotos, but this is basically me after two wonderful days of the second edition of Linguistic Intersections of Language and Gender (organised by @div-ling.org and @hhu.de). I am extremely grateful to the organisers and the students assistants, who have done an amazing job 💜

One chapter deserves special mention: it's based on the fantastic course work of my students in a class on gender linguistic methods @hhu.de.

In "Form identity & gendered associations", we explore how similar forms influence gender associations across L1/L2.

Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors!

The volume brings together chapters based on talks and posters from LILG 2023, alongside additional contributions submitted through an open call.

It is edited by @dmncschmtz.bsky.social, @terrorstein.bsky.social, and Viktoria Schneider from @hhu.de.
