And wrapping up this brilliant session, Oz Ozinanir, talking about some fascinating research into how female footballers are represented and represent themselves. Their precarity and the burden of being a "role model" comes through strongly in the data.

Next up, Jiaqi Tian shares her research into Chinese EFL teachers' views on teaching gender/sexuality. Here we see a mind map used in her research with novice teachers! #BAAL2025 @lgas-baal.bsky.social

We're off! @louisstrange.bsky.social now presenting on the sexism underlying negative stances towards women football commentators: shrill voices are annoying, apparently! #BAAL2025

Fantastic and fascinating talk on the reductive, limited representations of dementia in generative AI from @uonenglish.bsky.social alumnus @emma-putland.bsky.social #BAAL2025

Getting ready for #LavLang31 in Manchester later this week! Very much looking forward to catching up with @lavlang.bsky.social folks, and to seeing two @uonenglish.bsky.social PhD students @xylong.bsky.social and @maxreuvers.bsky.social present their work 🤩

Very happy to be in Montevideo and looking forward to #IGALA13 in a couple of days!

This aspect of enshittification, which Cory Doctorow calls "twiddling", just blew my mind. thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Are you interested in hosting the next IGALA (International Gender & Language Association) conference? We're now inviting expressions of interest, ahead of this year's event in Montevideo - please let me know if you'd like to chat about this!

Highlights for me were hearing about the important work of this year's Judith Baxter Award winner @bethmalory.bsky.social into discourses of pregnancy loss, and @jaimackenzie.bsky.social's powerful plenary on the future of LGS, in which she talked about the specific need to challenge transphobia.

This year's annual @lgas-baal.bsky.social event in Manchester was excellent - huge congrats to @nounfraze.bsky.social for organising it, & to @helensauntson.bsky.social for bringing together so many authors in the Palgrave Studies in Language, Gender & Sexuality series to mark its 10th anniversary!
May 4, 2025 at 7:29 AM
This book will also be the first publication in the new Bloomsbury Studies in Queer Linguistics series, edited by Rodrigo Borba, William Leap, and myself - do get in touch if you'd like to discuss a potential proposal! @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

I've ended up in the Daily Mail - I should have known. In terms of data analysis, the comments are equally useful/horrifying. archive.today/eGNyv

This ethnographic note comes at the start of Cedar Brown's recent article critically evaluating "pronoun rounds". In so generously sharing their emotional experience, Brown illustrates how this practice, though well-intended, doesn't necessarily benefit trans folk. utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/...

It looks like #IGALA13 abstract acceptances are on their way! Who's planning to come to Montevideo at the end of July?

Popped into the Words We Live By installation at the National Justice Museum in Nottingham today - great to see responses from visitors! This is my current favourite 😁 #LiveLoveLesbian The installation has been extended to mid-Nov: www.nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk/museum/event...

Please share: whilst the Words We Live By glossary was written by young LGBTQ+ people in England, this project also involves collecting & archiving the words used by those outside of this group. Complete our quick online form to suggest words & definitions important to you! nott.ac/yourLGBTQwords

Really important call for conversation about making Lavender Languages and Linguistics more accessible to more people, from this year's conference host @genderedform.bsky.social and next year's host @nounfraze.bsky.social
September 10, 2024 at 6:49 PM
We've been sharing words from this glossary written by young LGBTQ+ people for the past few weeks. If you're on Insta, FB or X & would like to find out more, pls do give us a follow & maybe even some likes/reposts - it'd be great to give this a final boost! Our handle on all places is @LGBTQwords 😀

I became a meme at #LavLang30 last week - this might be the the pinnacle of my career!
August 28, 2024 at 6:42 AM
