‘What are your pronouns?’
How often do you get asked that question? How does it make you feel to be asked? When did the question first start making sense to you?
This episode explores the ways that pronoun usage has shifted over time to reflect new ways of thinking about the relationship between self and society. We’ll draw upon Brown and Gilman’s seminal essay, ‘The pronouns of power and solidarity’. And we’ll go back to Girl Scout camp in the early eighties, which is where my real education in pronouns began.
The story I read in this episode is ‘Of prophets and pronouns’, available on grammarfordreamers.com.
