The volume is divided into five parts, beginning with the prelude, which McConnell-Ginet authored specifically for this book. Gender, Sexuality, and Meaning then moves on to the first section, titled 'Politics and Scholarship'. Following this are the second section-'Social Practice, Social Meanings, and Selves' ,-and the third, 'Constructing Content in Discourse'. She then concludes the volume with a coda discussing the future of linguistic research in studies of language, gender and sexuality. While at times repetitive across chapters, Gender, Sexuality, and Meaning provides a useful one-stop resource for scholars, teachers, and students of gender, sexuality, and language. Beginning with the prelude, 'Gender, Sexuality, and Meaning: An Overview' , McConnell-Ginet provides the reader with an in-depth background on research involving gender, sexuality, identity, ideologies and meaning. While a seasoned scholar familiar with these topics may find little new information in this section, readers less familiar with these fields of study will find this thorough introduction of great assistance in understanding the rest of the book. Additionally, given McConnell-Ginet's academic background in first formal linguistics and then later sociolinguistics, scholars of either linguistic subfield may find the prelude helpful in understanding how the two can be intertwined.

Today, in 2004, after six years of research and development mixed with two years of classroom testing, it has evolved into a dissemination challenge. This chapter will describe the interdisciplinary approach taken by the Mesolore Project during its development and dissemination and the interdisciplinary methods by which it hopes to clear the hurdles that are in the way to broad, cross-campus adoption.

Please check back later for the full article.A teaching and research tool for scholars and students of Mesoamerica, Mesolore is currently available as a free, open-access, Spanish-English bilingual website (www.mesolore.org). Mesolore combines interactive primary-source documents from 15th- and 16th-century Central Mexico and Oaxaca with explanatory tutorials, an archive of primary-source alphabetic documents, an atlas, syllabi and lesson plans, and audio and video commentaries by scholars and activists from a dozen disciplines working in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. These supporting materials thus expand the scope of Mesolore’s engagements across space (from Guatemala to Canada to Germany) and time (from the classic period to the 21st century).

[Her painting] is the story of women between vigils and dreams, of those who, full of uncertainties, dare to know themselves, paint themselves and create themselves.-Marjorie Agosin' The Mexican Museum in San Francisco knew of Frida Kahlo's presence in the Bay Area among artists of all mediawriters, performers, playwrights, painters. That is why it scheduled to show in its galleries during the summer of 1992 Pasidn por Frida, an exhibit on the legacy of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Nevertheless, the museum's curators were completely taken by surprise when 1,500 peo'ple arrived at the exhibit's opening night. They had been even more surprised when, weeks earlier, two hundred people came to audition for a part in the opening night's drama during which five of Kahlo's self-portraits were to be recreated in tableau vivant. What came as no surprise, however, to anyone at the museum was this: not all the contestants were artists; not all were Mexican, Mexican-American, or even Latino. Nor were they all women.2 What is it about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, a woman born in 1907 and who died almost forty years ago (1954), that would draw such a response? What is it about Kahlo that has people from all over the world and of different nationalities, cultures, genders, and ages buying her biographies, traveling to see her portraits, recreating her
