What is Linguistic Diversity?
How can we strive to make our campus a more inclusive place for users of different languages and varieties? This session will focus on the centrality of language to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. We will cover challenges such as linguistic bias, linguistic racism and discrimination, and linguistic microaggressions as well as discuss strategies for actively creating linguistic inclusion, access and equity across our campus community and beyond.
