In this webinar you will hear from Lynne and Suzanne, two teachers working in Scotland, about our journey to widen the professional dialogue around inclusive languages education.
More specifically, we will explore the changing landscape around gender inclusive language. We will compare it to other societal changes in language use, and discuss the factors for consideration when integrating gender inclusive language into teaching practice.
You will also have the opportunity to share your own experiences from the Norwegian context.
In advance of the webinar, you are invited to engage with gender & language [https://graphics.reuters.com/GENDER-LANGUAGE/LGBT/mopanqoelva/], a Reuters Graphics interactive article by Minami Funakoshi and Samuel Granados.
