A Guide to Using Pronouns and Other Gender-Inclusive Language in the Office” written by Stav Ziv for The Muse is about the workplace, but is very applicable to our school environments as well. Switching out those terms with non-gendered ones like “y’all,” “class,” “everyone,” “friends,” or “team” is hardly going to paint you as a revolutionary, but it still disrupts systems of misgendering and of erasing people with underrepresented genders. It’s sometimes said that New York is one of the biggest cities in Latin America. Latino people are its largest non-white ethnic group, constituting nearly a third of the city’s population — but this isn’t always evident at local museums, which have relatively limited Latin American art in their collections.

ISLAA was founded in 2011 by Argentine entrepreneur and collector Ariel Aisiks and its recent loans have included “Simultaneity in Simultaneity”, a groundbreaking 1966 video installation by artist Marta Minujín, to the Museum of Modern Art, as well as support for the first major monograph on the work of Paraguayan painter and textile artist Feliciano Centurión. Over the past decade, ISLAA has also donated more than 500 works to museum collections across the US, all while continuing to acquire more.Principal parts and the supine; Indirect statement; Future passive infinitive; Participles; Ablative absolute; Impersonal verbs and impersonal passive; Time clauses; Time clauses implying purpose or proviso; Cum clauses; Inverted cum clauses; Causal clauses; Concessive clauses; Paired and co-ordinated words; Conjunctions (1): connecting; Conjunctions (2): subordinating Similarly, the Biden-Harris administration have published a Toolkit for Transgender Equality that provides guidance on how best to include, respect and validate gender diverse people. In addition to helping students of underrepresented genders feel included, when we do this we are modeling for all our students how they too can use inclusive language practices. Similarly, this Gender Inclusive Language in Writing UNC Chapel Hill Writing Center handout can be shared with students to help them understand gendered language and ways to shift the language they use in their writing. Insider magazine’s “ What to know about gender pronouns, how to use them and why they are important” written by Canela Lopez and published in 2021 and “ How to Use Gender Inclusive Language, and Why It’s Important” written by Kim Elsesser for Forbes provide good overviews of the discourse surrounding pronouns, and the social shift taking place.

The gender style guide that is housed on Lupercal’s blog presents a framework for using inclusive language when speaking or writing Latin. The post is thoughtful, thorough, and presents explanations for the committee’s decisions on creating the style guide. I find this resource especially helpful if you have students who are interested in writing or speaking Latin and want to be gender-inclusive. It can be difficult to replace these formulaic phrases in our vocabularies, but it is worthwhile to try. Like anything else, it requires practice, and having some alternative phrases on hand, in both English and Latin, can help us. Predicative dative; Gerunds and gerundives; The gerund; The gerundive; Gerundive looking like a gerund ('impersonal neuter gerundive of obligation'); Gerund changed into gerundive ('gerundival attraction'); Conditional sentences; Conditionals (1): open or unknown; Conditionals (2): closed or remote; Wishes and fears for the present and past; Use of quin and quominus, and verbs of preventing ; Conventions of extended narrative; Extended indirect speech (' oratio obliqua'); Subordinate clauses in indirect speech; Open or unknown conditionals in indirect statement; Closed or remote conditionals in indirect statement Lastly, we can get familiar with Title IX, which protects a student’s right to have educators use their preferred name and pronouns (with exemptions for some schools). To learn more about these rights, and about contributing to schools and Latin classrooms where all of our students can thrive, see the U.S. Department of Education’s factsheet, “Supporting Transgender Youth in School.” Becoming more informed about pronouns can feel overwhelming. Here is a curated list of resources arranged by subtopics related to pronouns and inclusive language.CaveatemptorIfoundLatinlessengagingthanotherlanguagesandthushaven'treallyutilisedanyofthosethatmuchpersonally(althoughdoownseveralofthem ). In this post, I’ll give suggestions for how we can support our transgender students in particular, whether we choose to do that in big ways or little ones.
