*Event description:*
This event has two interrelated general aims: a) to bring into dialogue
discourse analysis paradigms and methodologies across disciplines; and
b) to explore the operation of sexism in the current conjuncture. The
event is particularly interested in building bridges – both
theoretically and methodologically speaking – between gender and
language studies, and feminist cultural studies, sociology and social
psychology, while also considering activism in this area. How might we
learn from each other to better deconstruct, comprehend and resist
contemporary gender ideologies and permutations of sexism?
During the day, we hope to provide a stimulating encounter to
collaboratively advance innovative interdisciplinary approaches to the
complex workings of power and ideology in discourse, as well as to
reinvigorate intersectional feminist politics. The invited speakers will
be addressing these questions theoretically, empirically, and/or drawing
on their feminist practice/activism, and there will be opportunities for
discussion.
