Module assignments

Comment/Description

In this course we will explore the intersections between language, sexuality, and gender. Students will be equipped with knowledge of language use by and about LGBTQ+ people (Lavender Linguistics, LL) and discursive practices of (hetero)normativity in language (Queer Linguistics, QL). Students will read texts focusing on the theoretical foundations of QL, the history of LL, as well as research papers in applied QL/LL. In accordance with the latter, students will also be introduced to various methodologies and fields of research within QL/LL. Throughout the semester, they will conduct their own small-scale study.

Content notice: We might read papers that contain linguistic examples of sexual practices, body parts, or homo-/transphobia.

Requirements (ungraded):
Active participation in class and thorough preparation of the weekly readings.

Assessment (graded/ungraded depending on your module):
1) Critical excerpt of a research paper
2) Oral presentation of your own mini study
