DESCRIPTION:<p>The Meaning of Misogyny Conference&nbsp\;is taking place from the 30th of June to the 1st of July 2026 at the University of Manchester.</p>\n<p>This two-day\, hybrid conference aims to look at the work that specifically focuses on the meaning of misogynistic and/or gendered language. The topics will relate\, but are not limited to\, the following questions:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What unique linguistic phenomena should be classed as misogyny\, e.g. gendered slurs?</li>\n<li>Does misogynistic language differ semantically from\, e.g.\, racist language?</li>\n<li>Does misogynistic language always carry a negative expressive/emotive component?</li>\n<li>How far can semantics go in explaining misogyny?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We are excited to confirm that Professor Robin Jeshion will be our keynote speaker for the event. Her work on slurs\, dehumanisation &amp\; contempt\, reclamation\, and expressivism has been highly influential in Philosophy of Language\, and we are very much looking forward to having her in Manchester.</p>\n<p><em>Confirmed speakers:</em></p>\n<p><strong>Justina Ber&scaron\;kytė (University of Manchester):&nbsp\;</strong> Hostile and Benevolent Misogyny: On the Expressive Power of Patriarchal Speech</p>\n<p><strong>Vittoria Campisi (Universit&agrave\; Vita-Salute San Raffaele) &amp\; Sergio Guerra (Universidad de Granada):</strong>&nbsp\;Presuppositional Obstacles in Sex Negotiation</p>\n<p><strong>Chris Cousens (University of Manchester):&nbsp\;</strong> Bullshit Slurs\, Gendered Slurs\, and Patriarchy [invited]</p>\n<p><strong>Robin Jeshion&nbsp\;</strong><strong>(University of Southern California) [keynote]:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</strong>The Language of Misogyny: Slurs\, Stereotypes\, and Rape Threats</p>\n<p><strong>Grace Li (The University of Hong Kong &amp\; King&rsquo\;s College London):</strong>&nbsp\; Who&rsquo\;s Afraid when Feminists &ldquo\;Box&rdquo\;? --Reclaiming Anti-Feminist Slurs in China</p>\n<p><strong>Filipa Melo Lopes (University of Edinburgh):&nbsp\;</strong> Misogynistic Dehumanization: Women as Witches [invited]</p>\n<p><strong>Amanda McMullen (University of Arkansas):&nbsp\;</strong> The Context-Sensitivity of Extreme Manosphere Language</p>\n<p><strong>Mengyuan Qi (University of Pittsburgh):&nbsp\;</strong> Event Labels [online]</p>\n<p><strong>Ayşe Seda Umul (Independent Researcher):&nbsp\;</strong> The Meaning of Misogynist: An Internal Critique of Manne</p>\n<p><strong>Alba Moreno Zurita (University of Santiago de Compostela) &amp\; Dan Zeman (University of Porto&nbsp\;</strong>[invited]: Misogyny Beyond Neutral Counterparts: Gendered Slurs as Norm Enforcement</p>\n<p><em>Registration</em></p>\n<p>Attendance is free\, but registration is necessary.
