About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is the third volume of the series Pride Month: Initiatives and Impact.
The other volumes are available here:
• Volume I – Pride Month: initiatives and impact - Sociological perspective
• Volume II – Pride Month: initiatives and impact - Educational perspective
• Volume IV – Pride Month: initiatives and impact - Political perspective
Each year, during the month of June, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) community is celebrated in many areas in the world. It is a time to recall the trials endured by the members of the community and to celebrate and acknowledge the diversity of our society when it comes to the sexuality and identity of its individuals.
Pride is a time to remember, inform, and raise awareness. Memorials are held for those who have been lost to HIV/AIDS or hate crimes. Some governments and organizations support or lead initiatives to educate and increase the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. For some, however, such initiatives are repressed and stifled.
Frontiers is organizing a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest research on Pride Month in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In order to address these questions in a cross-disciplinary way, we welcome submissions from the fields of sociology, education, and communication.
Launched during Pride month itself, this particularly relevant editorial initiative is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, recent discoveries & advances and future perspectives on Pride and its impact on society. It offers an opportunity to remember, inform, and raise awareness.
Examples of possible themes include:
· Linguistic inclusion and changing vocabulary
· Perceptions of Pride
· Sociolinguistics studies: how language is used to construct and project identities
· Language evolution and the diversity of queer voices in various contexts
· Corporate communication and Pride
· Civil society and cities’ involvement in Pride communication
· The role of identity in studies of language and sexuality
· Political movements surrounding Pride
· Pride in its local and global communicative contexts
