Going Beyond English: Gender-Inclusive Language in Spanish and Other Languages
Workshop Description
Recommendations for gender-inclusive language are widely-recognized in English-speaking settings, but what if you are communicating in a different language? What if that language does not recognize gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language? What if the language is gendered grammatically, such as Spanish or French? Based on their doctoral research, Dr. Jillane Baros shares the rationale and practical steps for identifying and using gender-inclusive language in non-English-speaking settings with attention to the nuances of identifying and selecting appropriate language. As a Spanish language teacher, Dr. Baros provides specific recommendations for language instructors.
