Please Note Using inclusive language, i.e. that does not discriminate against or show thedifference between men and women, is something we at our institution take very seriously. However, its practical use in Spanish has created very different solutions on which linguists have still not come to agreement. Therefore, and in order to avoid the graphic overload of overusing the Spanish expression “o/a” to refer to both sexes, we have decided to use the classic general masculinereference with the understanding that it shall always include both men and women whenever used.
