Women and Gender
The LSA is active in addressing a range of issues affecting women, including those facing the linguistics workforce, but also those affecting users of language. The LSA has a Committee on the Status of Women in Linguistics (COSWL), that works on many of these issues. Other LSA resources relating to gender issues include:
- LSA Statement on Sexual Harassment
- Guidelines for Nonsexist Usage (1996)
- Guidelines on Inclusive Language (2016)
- Survey of Linguistic Departments/Programs (includes data by gender)
