What's the connection between language, sex and gender? Deborah Cameron, the Rupert Murdoch Professor of Language & Communication in the Faculty of English at the University of Oxford in the UK, will address that question at a lecture at York in the new year.
“Sex on the Brain: Language, Sex/Gender and the New Biologism”, presented by York’s Graduate Program in Linguistics & Applied Linguistics, will take place Monday, Jan. 4, 2010, from 5 to 6pm in 
the Schulich School of Business Private Dining Hall in the Seymour Schulich Building, Keele campus.
