Topic: Gender Lens And Toponymic Landscape Study Of Selected University Campus In Nigeria

Description:

The study x-rays name pattern on selected campuses in Nigeria using gender equality lens to determine whether they are gender sensitive or insensitive. The cultural geography framework with a sociolinguistic gender model are used. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis are used on the collected data on one campus in Southwest Nigeria. Preliminary results show a linguistic landscape that discriminates against women and favours masculinity. As social actors, users and readers of the landscape are being socialized to be gender biased thereby undermining one of the SDGs. This findings are in violation of the UN 2019 resolutions on human linguistic rights and contradicts the creation of safe public space for women and girls.
