Abstract

In this talk I draw on ongoing and recently completed work and discuss the relationship between ‘language’, ‘equality’ and ‘work’. All three terms are commonly used in academic work and everyday life. All three, however, are complex and can afford a range of meanings. I am interested in problematising them particularly in relation to the way in which they are operationalised in socio/linguistic work and policy discourse. I engage with data from two different research agendas, one on gender in institutional discourse and one on migration and resettlement. I discuss how interactional sociolinguistic research (can) connect the situated moment to the wider political context and close the paper with implications for future research and my take on the need for renegotiating the political impetus of our research agendas.
