“APA and Inclusive Language” by Amy Harris Houk, Thursday February 8th at 1pm
In late 2023, the American Psychological Association (APA) released the second edition of their Inclusive Language Guide. This guide focuses on the use of culturally sensitive language to center the experience of people who have been historically marginalized. The guide is primarily for people who write using APA style but is useful for anyone who wants to learn more about inclusive language. Topics covered in this presentation will include: people-first and identity-first language, culturally appropriative language, and asset v. deficit language.
