Meeting Description:

Conference 'Language and Power' will be hosted by GSEAL, the University of Münster. Together we would like to engage in a critical discussion of the following questions:

- How can language establish gender equality or postulate the prevalence of a certain gender?
- How do language-related power structures affect minorities? How can we as scientists support these communities?
- What are the mechanisms and consequences of the in-group and out-group differentiation based on language?
- In what way is the government’s political discourse reflected in educational institutions?
- How can linguistic structures influence our thinking, reinforce, amplify, or combat discourses of oppression?
- What are the responsibilities of practitioners and scientists with regard to language and power? (for example, in the classroom or when it comes to language reforms)

Call for Papers:
