SUMMARY:Anne Curzan: Says Who? at Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture
DESCRIPTION:Language is constantly changing. Linguist and veteran English professor Anne Curzan is here to help us decipher its “rules.” Written with lively humor and humanity\, Curzan’s newest book Says Who? is a pragmatic and accessible key that reveals how our choices about language can be a powerful force for equity and personal expression. Join Chicago Humanities as Curzan shows us how we can care about language precision\, clarity\, and inclusion all at the same time. Curzan makes nerding out about language fun — for both proud grammar sticklers and self-conscious writers alike. A book signing will follow this program. \nOpen captions and ALDs will be provided. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/anne-curzan/

SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Edge Theater
