Gender-Inclusive Approaches to Language Teaching: An Interactive Workshop

What is gender-inclusive, gender-fair or gender-neutral language? Why does it matter? What does it look like in different languages, particularly in languages with grammatical gender? How might we integrate gender-inclusive or gender-neutral language into the classroom?

In this workshop delivered by Prof Sascha Stollhans (Leeds), we will discuss the above questions and try to find realistic and workable answers together. The workshop will include lots of concrete examples (both linguistic examples, such as approaches to gender-inclusive languages and non-binary pronouns in a variety of languages, as well as examples of teaching and learning activities). Colleagues are encouraged to share their own experiences and ideas if they wish.

Refreshments will be provided for the post-workshop discussion.
