DESCRIPTION:The Women's &amp\; Gender Studies Tea Talks series features faculty\, staff and guest speakers on a range of topics. Today\, Dr. Kiki Kosnick\, assistant professor of French\, will speak on "The Possible Life in French: Women\, Non-Binary Folks\, and the Struggle to Exist in Language."\n\nAll Tea Talks are held from 4-5 p.m. Wednesdays in Carlsson Evald Hall in the Great Hall on the first floor. The final Tea Talk of the year&nbsp\; will be April 10\, when&nbsp\;Dr. Michelle Wolff\, assistant professor of religion\, will speak on "Scholar\, Priest\, Intersex Activist: Sally Gross."\n\nLectures are free and open to the public as well as the campus community. Refreshments are served.\n\nDescription of today's talk: In October 2017\, the Acad¨¦mie Fran?aise\, a council that oversees the French language\, released a staunch statement against forms of inclusive writing designed to create visibility of women in a language that traditionally defaults to the masculine. Despite opposition from the Acad¨¦mie\, inclusive writing continues to gain traction in some circles.\n\nAt the same time\, activist communities and scholars continue to grow strategies to make French more inclusive of non-binary gender. This talk explores the relationship between these feminist and queer struggles and why we need each other.\n
