    Description

    In this course, we will explore how these issues are discussed and investigated in academic research. In addition, we will study recent vocabulary changes in the English language, such as the increased use of they as an epicene pronoun, and the use of gender-neutral occupational terms (e.g. firefighter versus fireman/firewoman).

    Evaluation

    Students will write a paper (3000 words) on a topic related to language and gender. This paper can be a literature review, an empirical study or a theoretical paper. Topics can be chosen freely. The assignment can be revised once in the event of an insufficient grade.

    BASI and Mobility students who only need 3 credits will have a shorter assignment (1000 words) that consists of a review of a single article.
