This webinar explores LGBTQ+ issues in Linguistics from the perspectives of a master’s student, a doctoral candidate, and a postdoctoral fellow. Building from the LSA Special Interest Group on LGBTQ+ Issues in Linguistics’ 2019 panel “New Directions in LGBTQ+ Linguistics,” this webinar also addresses contemporary topics of interest in the study of language, gender, and sexuality. This webinar is of interest to LGBTQ+ linguists and allies at all career stages, those seeking to promote LGBTQ+ issues in the wider discipline, and those seeking to learn how to organize around these topics.

The webinar will take place on Friday, April 12 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM U.S. Eastern Standard Time.  Participation will be limited to 100, with LSA members given priority.
