Words Matter: Being Intentional About Language

This module draws on linguistic anthropology to demonstrate that inclusive language is more than just dictionary meanings. Applying the principles of inclusive language will allow you to bypass common pitfalls and create communication that makes people feel seen, heard, and valued rather than disrespected, marginalized, or erased.
