From ‘Men are from Mars and Women are f rom Venus’ to notions of performativity and intersectionality. From a he tero-and-cisnormative\, white\, Western point of view to a more diverse\, inclusive and culturally specific perspective.\n\nThis journey through gen der\, language\, time and space will be accompanied by a plethora of analy tical as well as more community-focused examples from the land of film and television\, and beyond. We will take a look at the early beginnings of G ender &\; Language research. What was interesting about these early app roaches and theories and what was lacking? How do they compare to how we c urrently think about gender\, all its identity intersections\, and how gen der both constructs and is constructed by one’s language use? How has th e language used to describe other people of the same or different genders\ , as well as descriptions of one’s own gender identity and expression ch anged?\n\nHere we also delve deeper into the way gender interacts and inte rsects with sexuality\, class\, race\, ethnicity and culturally specific g roup identities\, and the ways in which these intersections affect one’s vocabulary and speech patterns. Lastly\, we will also take a look at medi a portrayals of (hegemonic) femininity and masculinity and how these portr ayals have shifted and developed over the years.\n\nThis workshop will be taught by Lotte Verheijen (she/her)\, a PhD Candidate in Linguistics at th e English Department of the University of Liverpool. Lotte’s research in terests lie predominantly in the fields Language &\; Gender and Queer L inguistics. Her PhD research focuses on the representation and linguistic construction of female voters\, as well as notions of homonationalism\, in the UK press in the context of the recent UK General Elections and the EU Referendum. Lotte has previously taught at the University of Liverpool\, presented at Academic conferences\, published some of her work\, as well a s appeared on BBC’S Woman’s Hour to discuss the use of lesbian slang.\ n\nContent warnings: mentions of different forms of misogyny\n\n \;\n\ n \;\n\nGendered Language and Poetry Workshop by Raphael Moore 19:00 - 21:30\n\nShall I compare thy gender to a summer’s day?\n\n \;\n\nA workshop providing an introduction to transgender writing via poetry\, di scussing how writers can sensitively explore the concept of gender within the confines of language. The workshop will include samples of poetry from transgender and GNC poets\, including Oliver Baez Bendorf\, Kayleb Rae Ca ndrilli\, Dawn Lundy Martin\, Julian Talamantez Brolaski\, John Bosworth\, and more. We will use their poems as a catalyst for writing poetry about our own conceptions of gender. How can we describe gender? Can we describe the body without ascribing gender? How do the rules of language limit our expressions of gender\, and how can we break those rules? This workshop p rovides an open space for curiosity about and exploration of new portrayal s of gender – awkward questions and uncertainty are welcome.\n\n \;\ n\nThe session will include discussion and writing focusing on:\n\nHow wri ting\, and particularly poetry\, can be used as a method to explore gender .\n\nGendered language\, grammar rules\, and how to break them creatively. \n\nThe sticky business of pronouns and names in writing.\n\nNeopronouns\, multiple names\, and how to avoid being a person altogether.\n\nXenogende rs and alternative methods of describing the gender experience.\n\nNew way s to describe sex\, desire\, and the gendered body.\n\n \;\n\nThe work shop is delivered by Raphael Moore\, a gay trans man\, painter\, teacher\, and poet.
