Czech Studies in the Washington Post
A recent article in the Washington Post about a proposed law in the Czech Republic to allow women to choose non-gendered last names features input by Professor David S. Danaher. Danaher noted: “If linguistic conventions force you to identify yourself in ways that don’t make sense to you, then you will probably seek to challenge those conventions. The proposed Czech law is, then, not a new story; it is instead a reflection of a long-term trend in challenging linguistic norms that fail to do justice, in one way or another, to how we understand ourselves.” For more on the proposed law and to read the full article, click here.
