#49: Speaking Gender with Montreal Benesch '22, Linguistics

Montreal tells us about their study on the use of a particular phonetic feature of American English by a handful of genderfluid students at Reed, and also about how they became interested in linguistics. Reed community members can read Montreal's thesis, “/s/tylizing the /s/elf: A First Look into the Concurrent Fluidity of Gender and Language,” online in the Electronic Theses Archive: https://rdc.reed.edu/i/567f7c74-b4b2-4c84-9305-2158e2f8d853
