Town Hall X: Inclusivity Across Language
Mar 31, 2022 | 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free Admission
Join us for Town Hall X: Inclusivity Across Language on Thursday, March 31st, 2022 at 4 PM EST. We will be joined by Dr. Ana Celia Zentella, Dr. Irma Olmedo, Dr. Jose Luis Vega, and Dr. Lawrence la Fountain-Stokes to discuss proponents and opponents of the use of inclusive language (Latinx, Latines, Latinus, etc.) among Puerto Rican scholars and communities. What does the X ending represent and how is it being used in English and Spanish? What are alternatives to the X that permit inclusivity? How do linguistic practices help create more inclusive collectivities?
