Vera Gheno will focus on issues of language and gender and on the debates they have generated in Italy over the past years: from linguistic sexism to the role and visibility of women, and then to the representation of non-binary identities. Her talk will discuss the notion of language  inclusivity and explore the idea of a “braod language”, in Italian and in connection to  other languages. The event has been sponsored by the Institute of Italian Culture in Edinburgh and by SIS.

The talk will be delivered in English and  in person.
