Canadian Graduate and Professional Student Survey (CGPSS)

Understanding Pronouns

 

 


CGPSS is a survey of graduate students that focuses on gaining information about satisfaction with many aspects of their graduate programs including research and professional skills development, experiences with support services and facilities.


Gender is a large part of language; both obvious and subconscious. Our social scripts have become so intertwined with gendered language that the way we view gender is mirrored through our words and actions. Therefore, to invalidate someone’s gender identity is to deny them a significant part of themselves.
