FOS: New section of online summer II course in Language and Gender

[Suzanne Evans Wagner]

Dear FOS,

We've just opened a second section of our online course LIN 225 Language
and Gender, offered in Summer II. Please circulate this announcement as
widely as you can! Text is below, and there is a flyer attached.

Best,
Suzanne




* LIN 225 Language and Gender ONLINE, Summer II New places available!
Sections 731 and 732 How do individuals construct, perform and/or reflect
their gender identity/identies through their language? By what means
(pronunciation, vocabulary, conversational style etc) does this happen? How
does society create norms and expectations for gendered language behavior?
How do those norms differ across Western and non-Western societies? In this
fully online introductory course, we will consider how the linguistic
construction of gender intersects with other aspects of social identity,
such as ethnicity, social class and age. No prior knowledge of linguistics
or social/cultural theory is assumed or required. This course will enhance
your social science literacy, while also engaging you from a humanities
perspective with issues such as personal agency and societal change.  Feel
free to direct questions to Dr. Suzanne Wagner, wagnersu at msu.edu
