“Gendern“ – Muss oder Unsinn?

Head to this fascinating talk about one of the hottest topics of the last decade

“Gendern“ – Muss oder Unsinn?

When: WED, January 8, 6pm–10pm
Where: WU – Vienna University of Economics & Business
Entry: Free! Registration required

The WU continues its fascinating lecture series, this time tackling the syntactical quandary of gendering. This has been a hot topic in the decade just passed, and while some think anyone with nipples should be able to consider themselves whatever gender they please (we apologise to the nipple-less for our discriminatory tone), for others it has become either a mantra or a nuisance. The discussion will be focused on the relationship between gender and sex, how language reflects our society, and how language relates to our thinking.

Recommended if you like: going to any toilet you please, androgyny, going to the kind of talks David Bowie would probably like, referring to yourself as something other than, the English pronoun of the decade (they), expanding your mind, talks by intelligent people
