The Stanford Language and Gender Project

The Stanford Language and Gender Project is a research initiative that studies how language reflects and influences gender identities and stereotypes. By analyzing conversations, media, and written texts, the project examines how men and women are portrayed differently and how language shapes societal expectations. The goal is to better understand the connection between language use and gender norms, ultimately promoting awareness of biases and fostering more equitable communication. The project combines linguistic analysis with social science insights to explore how language both shapes and is shaped by gender roles.
