Towards Inclusive Languages: The Case of French, Italian and Spanish In brief Date - 9 November 2023 Venue - Project Room 1.06, 50 George Square Organisers - Audrey Debard (French and Francophone Studies), Hugo Lázaro Ruiz, (Spanish and Latin American Studies) Michela Prevedello (Italian Studies) Book your free ticket on Eventbrite About the event Who does the language we speak belong to? Why is the masculine form considered a neutral form? What is the feminine form of this word? What if I want to speak without having to be gender specific? If you study a romance language, you have probably already heard or asked yourself some of the above questions. As initiatives to make the romance languages more inclusive emerge and find supporters, so does the resistance to these initiatives. In this event, French, Italian and Spanish speakers join forces to understand why the debates exist and examine some of the ways those languages have evolved in a bid to represent the diverse world we live in. Come join us for a workshop that will explore a more inclusive way to speak French, Italian and Spanish! Please note: this event is designed for and open to students of French, Italian and Spanish at any level, from undergraduate upwards. How to attend This event is free to attend and open to all.
