This volume offers a thirty-year retrospective on the field of language, gender, and sexuality by featuring 40 short, reflexive essays authored by renowned and up-and-coming scholars in the field. It contains 22 essays published across four issues of Gender and Language in 2021 and another 18 new essays. The volume, thus, offers an anticipatory retrospective of language, gender and sexuality research as it gathers several of the field’s luminaries (some of whom inaugurated it in the 1970s and 1980s) and puts them side-by-side with a new generation of scholars from various parts of the world who are taking the field to exciting new directions. In such a way, the essays look back into language, gender, and sexuality research in an anticipatory retrospection of its future while grounding the discussion squarely within the field’s present. This is the first volume which features retrospective essays from the field’s leading scholars, and it will be widely read and cited for both research and classroom purposes.

The new essays are written by scholars whose research focuses on understudied minority groups and under-represented geographic areas, emerging scholars whose work specifically develops transgender and nonbinary perspectives and established scholars.
