This book develops a feminist and queer linguistic account of the construction of sex, sexuality, and desire through a linguistic and discursive analysis of naturally occurring sex talk from an online community.

This edited book addresses the diversity across time and space of the sites, actors and practices of feminist translation from 1945-2000.

This edited book examines how sexuality and sexual identity intersect and interact with other identities and subjectivities ¿ including but not limited to race, religion, gender, social class, ableness, and immigrant or refugee status ¿ to form reinforcing webs of privilege and oppression that can have significant implications for language teaching and learning processes. The authors explore how these intersections may influence the teaching of different languages and how pedagogies can be devised to increase equitable access to language learning spaces. They seek to open the conversation on intersectional issues as they relate to sexuality and language teaching and learning, and provide a conversational space where readers can engage with the notion of intersectionality. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of applied linguistics and language education, gender and LGBTQ+ studies, and sociolinguistics, outlining possible future directions for intersectional research.
