SHAPING OUR WORLD WITH OUR WORDS
This follow up talk examines whether the language we use is more informed by gender stereotypes than we realise.
Through exploring the gendered insults and compliments we use, this session encourages pupils to consider how the language of power mirrors gendered language, and how our language reflects the wider culture of gender inequality that we see in the world around us.

FROM INSULTS TO ACTIONS

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

With a focus on making connections between issues that appear unrelated, this talk is an opportunity for pupils to understand where misogynistic language comes from, and where it can go if it goes unchallenged.
