Lavender 30 is taking place at the University of Brighton on 21-23 August 2024. 30 years after its first conference, this year, we will celebrate its glorious past, the present and the future of research on language and sexuality from its multiple perspectives.
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to this celebration by sharing your research with the lavender community, a friendly space for all researchers. If you are a graduate student, do not miss your opportunity to take part in the graduate session (see information here: https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/lav30/call-for-papers/), organised by Dr Lucy Jones.
This is a conference that is meant to be face-to-face (we will continue to explore a hybrid option, but at the moment, we can only guarantee a face-to-face option)
All topics, theories and methodologies are welcome, showcasing the wide range of ways in which sexuality operates through and with language.
