Professor Anne Curzan's research focuses on the history of the English language as well as attitudes toward language change, language and gender, and dictionaries. She has conducted extensive research on the history of gender-neutral pronouns and long advocated, in both her scholarship and in public forums, for singular "they." Her most recent book, Fixing English: Prescriptivism and Language History, explores the impact of efforts to regulate language in the history of English. Professor Curzan has also created three audio/video courses with the Great Courses, designed to reach a broad audience with a linguistically informed approach to the history of words and English grammar. She is currently completing a popular usage guide that provides judicious advice about formal edited writing while also embracing diversity and change in language. Professor Curzan encourages all speakers and writers to ask informed, sometimes challenging questions about the usage rules that get handed down as "correct" and to recognize the role of language diversity in creating inclusive spaces and inclusive climates.
