What does it mean to build a life in linguistics as an LGBTQ+ person right now? On Tuesday, October 27 at 4:00 PM ET, six linguists at different career stages will sit down for an honest conversation about applying for jobs amid anti-trans and anti-queer legislation, being visibly out in our research and classrooms, finding community, and putting queer and trans issues at the center of our work. They'll share their own stories, and the practical advice that got them through. https://lnkd.in/gSMwm5CU #QueerLinguistics #LGBTQ #Linguistics #LSA #Webinar

The last 10 years (or so) have seen a surge in scholarship that explicitly calls itself "sociosyntax." What *is* sociosyntax? Join us on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 7:00–8:30 PM ET for the LSA Presidential Research Forum, where Alicia Beckford Wassink moderates a conversation with Alexandra d’Arcy, Kirby Conrad, and Heidi Harley about the frameworks, findings, and methods shaping this growing area of research. From language acquisition and code-switching to syntactic variation and grammatical change, we’ll ask what sociosyntax is—and where it might be headed. #LSA #Sociosyntax #Sociolinguistics #Linguistics #Webinar #PresidentialForum https://lnkd.in/gG2eciD3
