Languages are dynamic and ever-evolving; they shape one’s identity and reflect the societal attitudes and norms. In 2023 Professor Stepanyan co-organized this International Conference on Gender-Inclusive Language Instruction that brought together researchers, practitioners and members of the LGBTQI+ communities who discussed the urgency of adopting gender-inclusive language in the effort of raising awareness of gendered linguistic bias and promoting diverse and inclusive learning environments.
Speakers also presented their research and projects, as well as the challenges and cultural implications of using non-binary language.
The panelists and audience shared practical ways of using gender alternatives in their classrooms in order to promote and celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion.
