New Publication: Challenging norms of gender and language!

We are excited to announce a new special issue of the Toronto Working Papers in Linguistics! 

"Challenging norms of gender and language" looks at gender-inclusive languages and linguistic practices within the trans and non-binary communities.  Each paper shows different perspectives of languages in society which challenge current language norms and research practices. This issue is co-edited by Pocholo Umbal (PhD candidate) and Nadia Takhtaganova (PhD student).

This is a must-read publication! The link to the issue is https://twpl.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/twpl/issue/view/2501

Three current or recent students have articles in this issue:

G. Dumais. “What do they say in Quebec?": Non-binary gender expression in informal spoken Quebec French. 

L. Konnelly. Both, and: Transmedicalism and resistance in non-binary narratives of gender-affirming care, 

L. Brown. A philosophy, a methodology, and a gender identity: Bringing pragrmatism and mixed methods research to transformative non-binary focused sociophonetic research. 

We send many congratulations to Pocholo and Nadia, and all the authors, on their wonderful work!
