Synopsis:
In this workshop, we will discuss a series of cutting-edge language issues concerning the use of words that nurture or maintain sexist stereotypes. We will discuss the linguistic representations and forms that sexism takes in the workplace, in the media, and in education, while we will also examine the attitudes of native speakers towards it. We will shed light on the term "inclusive language" as part of an effort to avoid sexist language use and expand a language that stands fairly beside gender and social classes. A language that does not only favor biological or social sex, excluding groups of people. Learn more about the workshop on Gender-neutral/Inclusive Language.
