Abstract

This workshop is intended for use with diverse groups in both academic and non-academic settings. In developing the workshop, we drew on our experiences with classroom discussions of the issue of sexism in language, a topic dealt with in our courses 'Languages and Women' (Wheatley) and 'Female-Male Communication' (Badami). The responses of our students and of the community, business, and academic groups who have participated in the workshop suggest that the issues we address are worth raising, for feminists and non-feminists alike.
