This award is to support graduate student travel to an interdisciplinary international conference on language and gender; it provides support for graduate student travel to the upcoming meeting of the International Gender and Language Association (IGALA) in Gaborone, Botswana in June 2018. Participation in this conference will enable graduate students to present their original research, receive feedback on their work from senior scholars in their field, attend papers, panels and keynote lectures on a variety of topics by a diverse, international group of researchers, and build professional connections by networking with fellow researchers of gender, sexuality, and language, particularly those from southern Africa, where the conference will be held. The conference theme of Gender and Language in Multicultural Contexts, and given the conference location, we expect southern Africa to be especially well-represented in terms of paper topics and participants. The travel awards will be used to encourage the participation of US-based graduate students despite the high cost of travel to the conference site, and they will particularly aim to ensure the participation of scholars from underrepresented minority groups. As has been reported by recipients of previous funding, travel to international conferences would have been out of reach financially without support, and these opportunities enabled participants to initiate research collaborations, make contacts crucial to their successful completion of fieldwork, and disseminate their research in scholarly outlets. IGALA is the world's largest and most prestigious conference on language and gender; attendees have come from North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand. The association's most recent meeting - IGALA 9 in 2016 in Hong Kong - attracted a total attendance of well over 200 people and featured more than 150 papers by 105 faculty and 85 students. At least fifteen of those students were from the US, thanks to funding support from NSF. The upcoming meeting has the potential to maintain that number of US-based graduate student researchers with support. IGALA conferences consistently draws the most prominent figures in the field in disciplines including linguistics, linguistic anthropology and social psychology, and the conference welcomes both established and up-and-coming scholars.

这个奖项是为了支持研究生参加一个关于语言和性别的跨学科国际会议；它为研究生前往2018年6月在博茨瓦纳哈博罗内举行的国际性别与语言协会（IGALA）会议提供支持。参加这次会议将使研究生能够展示他们的原创研究，从他们所在领域的高级学者那里获得对他们工作的反馈，参加由不同的国际研究人员组织的各种主题的论文，小组讨论和主题演讲，并通过与性别，性和语言的研究人员，特别是来自会议举办地南部非洲的研究人员建立专业联系。会议的主题是多元文化背景下的性别和语言，鉴于会议地点，我们预计在论文主题和参与者方面，南部非洲将特别有代表性。旅行奖将用于鼓励美国研究生参加会议，尽管前往会议地点的旅行费用很高，而且他们将特别致力于确保来自代表性不足的少数群体的学者参加会议。正如以前的资助接受者所报告的那样，如果没有资金支持，参加国际会议的旅行将是遥不可及的，而这些机会使参与者能够发起研究合作，建立对他们成功完成实地工作至关重要的联系，并在学术渠道上传播他们的研究。IGALA是世界上最大和最负盛名的语言和性别会议；与会者来自北美和南美、欧洲、非洲、中东、亚洲和太平洋岛屿、澳大利亚和新西兰。该协会最近的一次会议——2016年在香港举行的IGALA第9届会议——吸引了200多人出席，105名教师和85名学生发表了150多篇论文。在美国国家科学基金会的资助下，这些学生中至少有15人来自美国。即将召开的会议有可能在支持下保持美国研究生研究人员的数量。IGALA会议一贯吸引语言学、语言人类学和社会心理学等学科领域最杰出的人物，会议欢迎既有学者和崭露头角的学者。
