The International Gender and Language Association (IGALA), is an international interdisciplinary academic organisation that promotes and supports research on language, gender, and sexuality.[1]
History
[edit]The association was formed in 1999, having developed out of the graduate-student-run 'Women and Language' group at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] IGALA holds a biannual conference.[2] The society's official academic journal is Gender and Language, launched in 2007 by Equinox Press and now published by University of Toronto Press.[3][4] IGALA also publishes volumes of selected proceedings.[5] Together these projects have helped shepherd in the expansion of language, gender and sexuality studies into a wider set of topics from a wider range of regions than before, expanding beyond the earlier focus on English speakers that dominated work of earlier decades.[6]
