Multidisciplinary perspectives on gender in language”, organized by: VARCAS research group (Bertus van Rooy, Henning Radke, Caitlin Meyer, Suzanne Aalberse, Monique Flecken), Eva J. Daussà and Thom Westveer.

Gender-inclusive language lets individuals express their identities beyond traditional binary norms, using innovations like gender-neutral forms. Languages differ in how they mark gender—some with obligatory gender markings and others with unmarked, generic forms. These variations spark questions about language development, cognition, and societal attitudes. This workshop unites researchers from linguistic, sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic fields to explore these issues through three invited talks—each from a different perspective—, regular talks, and a roundtable discussion.
