N/NY-ET-317.2 - Language Is Power: Ethical Practice of Bias-Free Language to Counteract Oppression

Because language is power, how we use language to name, describe, represent, and “construct” others is a pressing concern in counteracting oppression. This workshop offers practice in examining language within relational ethics. Attendees will explore bias in language on race/ethnicity, gender, and disability, and construct bias-free alternatives that serve liberation.

Suggested Materials: Journal, sketchbook, or a notebook or any art materials you prefer. It is suggested that attendees review the directive before the session and complete the reflection exercises. Click here for the directions.
