Scope and content
This is a sound recording of a radio show on language and gender bias, in which Carolyn Gammon is interviewed about her fight for the degree title of Mistress instead of Master. Carolyn highlights that she learned specifically from past women not "masters." Carolyn and the [unnamed] Host discuss the role of language and how this case would set a precedent for other degrees. Carolyn also mentions that she researched sexist coding of education and language, and that she has received positive reactions to her fight, but expects a long bureaucratic battle. The segment ends at 00:07:15. The remainder of the recording features two professors from the University of Toronto discussing language and gender bias. Heather Murray aims to change language to be more neutral, such as obdusofficer; the focus of her work is on how language can be biased to women and how gendered words excludes women and/or makes them uncomfortable. James Estis, a historian, argues that though not opposed to a change, it would make grammar and language difficult, and that changing the language does not eliminate the bias. [There is a brief pause at 00:15:20 to 00:15:24.]
