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-q***r legislation, being visibly out in our research and classrooms, finding community, and putting q***r and trans issues at the center of our work.

They'll share their own stories, and the practical advice that got them through. https://www.lsadc.org/ev_calendar_day.asp?date=10/27/2026&eventid=165

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.
