Beyond Non-Binary: Critical Pronoun Circle

Does the term ‘non-binary’ still operate within the gender binary? How do we positively formulate what it means to not identify, is this a task that needs doing, and what does it say about identity categories more broadly? Our event wants to find space for such discussions, holding their ambivalence and seeking to understand where nonbinary fits within our present cultural moment. This workshop will allow guests to explore what it means to take pronouns seriously, to not just state them but interrogate them, inviting people to share what their pronouns mean and how they actually feel about them. It will finish with a creative badge-making session, where people can make their own ‘nuanced pronoun badges’ informed by the discussion. This panel discussion is the second session of a two-part event. The second session, on the 27th of February at 17:30 at the McCrum Lecture Theatre, is not necessary to attend after coming to this one (but encouraged!)
