About this Event

In our first collaborative event with HerLancaster, the WILD team invite you to a workshop on gendered language.


Ever noticed how conversations seem to have unspoken rules that work differently for different people? Join Dr. Alice Ashcroft for an eye-opening workshop that will transform how you see everyday communication – from meetings, to the classroom and to the family dinner table.


Through interactive exercises and evidence-based insights, you'll uncover the hidden patterns in how we communicate that often hold women and nonbinary people back. Whether it's being interrupted in meetings, having your ideas overlooked at social gatherings, or navigating the complexities of digital communication, we'll explore how these seemingly small moments create larger power dynamics in both our professional and personal lives.


Walk away with:


- Practical techniques to maintain your conversational space across different settings

- Strategies for navigating both in-person and digital communication with confidence

- Tools to recognise and respond to common patterns that diminish your impact

- The ability to use language intentionally to create more equitable spaces in all areas of your life


This workshop isn't just about speaking up – it's about understanding the power of language and creating environments where everyone's voice carries weight, whether at work, home, or in social settings.


About Dr. Ashcroft: Dr. Alice Ashcroft is a tech researcher turned language expert, investigating how communication patterns shape power dynamics in our daily interactions. Their work focuses on creating more inclusive spaces through intentional language use
