today to say that pronouns are political. Recently, however, they seem to have
become more political than ever. Putting pronouns on a social network bio, in
an email signature, on badges at conferences, or disclosing them during a
pronoun round, i.e., introducing oneself with the formula “Hi my name is X and
my pronouns are <i style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">she/her, he/him, they/them</i><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">…” is more than simply stating a fact, it is an intrinsically
political act. These practices reveal much more than someone’s gender, they
also indicate their stance on gender politics, and potentially much wider
political issues.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">However, as these pronoun sharing
practices have gained momentum and become more popular, they have also provoked
backlash from certain quarters: in March 2023 Ron DeSantis, governor of
Florida, signed a new state law against what he dubbed “the pronoun olympics”.
It is now illegal in K12 educational institutions in Florida to refer to
someone, or to ask to be referred to, with a pronoun that does not correspond
to the sex assigned at birth, demonstrating just how politically charged
pronouns have become.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">This two-day hybrid interdisciplinary
conference will focus on these recent pronoun sharing practices, covering all
forms of disclosing one’s pronouns including name badges, the pronoun round,
putting pronouns in an email signature, Zoom profile, etc. What theories,
methodologies and approaches can be mobilised to explain these new phenomena,
as well as the backlash against them? What is the genealogy of these practices:
how do they fit in with, or diverge from previous debates about pronouns?</span></p><span style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)!important;border-color:rgb(255,255,255)!important;color:rgb(255,255,255)!important"><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border:1pt windowtext;padding:0cm;color:rgb(25,25,25)"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><br></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:left;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border:1pt windowtext;padding:0cm;color:rgb(25,25,25)"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">Some argue (Baron 2020; Cameron
2016)</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"> that debates
over pronouns in the 1960s and 70s focused on <i style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">reducing</i> the
relevance of gender and imagining a world <i style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">without</i> gender.
However, today gender is envisaged by many as a vital part of one’s identity.
If second wave feminists conceptualised gender as a system of oppression, could
asking, expecting or even obliging (Thomas-Hébert 2022)</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"> people to disclose their
pronouns be considered “</span><span style="background:repeat white;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">just another
way queer people are being pushed to perform their queerness” (De Freitas
2021), </span>a compulsory “pronominal coming out”? Even if the objective
of these practices is to question the stability, universality, and binarity of
gender (Thomas-Hébert 2022), </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border:1pt windowtext;padding:0cm;color:rgb(25,25,25)">is there nonetheless an inherent paradox in
wanting to question gender binaries, wanting to avoid pigeonholing people, and
yet at the same time asking them to put a label on themselves? Have these
practices unwittingly amplified gender binaries, simply creating a new gender
binary of transgender/cisgender, rather than challenging the binary system per
se (Manion 2018)? <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">What light can feminist and/or Queer theory shed

one’s pronouns originated in trans communities as a way to inform others about
how to refer to them appropriately, but quickly spread to the mainstream. If
the risk of being misgendered is much less present for cis people, why do they
do it? Do these pronoun sharing practices mean different things for different
people? </span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border:1pt windowtext;padding:0cm;color:rgb(25,25,25)">Thomas-Hébert (2022)</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;border-color:rgb(25,25,25)"> found that cis women declared

pronouns on Twitter were <i style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">she/her</i>. What does this indicate? That cis
women are more likely to be allies than cis men? That more trans women disclose

how far can these pronoun sharing practices be considered a form of

cultural, civilisation or literary studies that shed light on how these new
