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 on<span style="margin: 0px">lin</span>e introductory course, we will consider how the<span> </span><span style="margin: 0px">lin</span>guistic construction of gender
intersects with other aspects of social identity, such as ethnicity, social class and age. No prior knowledge of<span> </span><span style="margin: 0px">lin</span>guistics 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. </div>
