   29 Apr 2020
--
   Education are being hotly debated in the UK and elsewhere, this event
   responds to an increased awareness of the crucial role that language
   plays in promoting or preventing gender- and sexuality-based inclusion
   in schools. The event brings together research which explores how
   language can be used in schools to both reinforce and challenge sexism,
--
   The event is intended to be interdisciplinary, bringing together
   practitioners and scholars working in linguistics, education, and
   gender and sexuality studies. In doing so, this will facilitate
   rigorous and timely engagement with the complexities of language,
   gender, sexuality and education. The event is co-organised by the
   British Education Research Association (BERA) and the British
   Association for Applied Linguistics and aims to promote dialogue
   between gender and sexuality research being conducted across the
   related disciplines of education and applied linguistics.

   The event aims to connect language, gender, sexuality and education
   research to those who face challenges around inclusion, enriching their
   professional practice. It also aims to suggest some ways that gender
   and sexuality diversity might be adequately addressed in guidance,
   school policy and curricula.
