The University of Queensland is committed to further developing and maintaining an, equitable, diverse and inclusive place of work and study. By practising the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion we seek to create a vibrant and inclusive environment that allows ideas to ourish, people to be empowered and communities to grow. Inclusive language is an important aspect of practising diversity and inclusion.USING INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE - UQ GUIDE
What is inclusive language?
Inclusive language is language that is respectful and promotes the acceptance and value of all people. It is language which is free from words, phrases or tones that demean, insult, exclude, stereotype, infantilise or trivialise people on the basis of their membership of a certain group or because of a particular attribute. Inclusive language is not about impinging on free speech or political correctness; it is about communicating in a way that is accessible and respectful and values, includes and empowers all members of your audience. Language is dynamic and lfluid and the meaning and connotations of words can change rapidly. It is important that you apply the inclusive language principles outlined in this guideline, rather than learning speciific appropriate phrases, as these may change over time.Why is language important?
Language is extremely powerful. Language can consciously or unconsciously offfend, intimidate, belittle, exclude, reinforce harmful stereotypes and contribute to the unequal status of individuals. Language can also have very positive efffects on people. When inclusive language is used it can make people feel included, valued and empowered. The University of Queensland values people-centric inclusive language which values and respects the diversity of people, and sees people as people - not as a stereotype, attribute or characteristic.Principles of inclusive language
• Any group interactions should be applied with care and consideration, with an awareness of the diversity within and between groups, and always be couched in inclusive terms.
Use people-centric language, which focuses on the person and relflects the individuality of people. People-centric language doesn't classify or stereotype people based on their association or identity with a group or culture. Only reference personal attributes or characteristics when it is relevant to the context. Consider a strengths-based approach (recognising the resilience of individuals and focussing on abilities, knowledge and capacities), rather than a deificit approach (focussing on deificiencies or supposed failings of a person, or group of people).
Where appropriate, ask about the language the person prefers and respect their wishes. Don't make assumptions about people or their characteristics
based on stereotypes or limited information. Be conscious of the implications of your language. Avoid excluding others or making people invisible by your choice of language. Avoid language and expressions that disparage or trivialise others.
Where possible, empower the person or group to speak for themselves. If you do need to speak on the behalf of a group of people, it is very important that you consult widely to ensure that the language you use is relflective of the group.
Address and remove stereotypes and myths. If someone uses inappropriate language in your presence speak out against it and correct the inappropriate language used, if safe.
Ensure that the language and the delivery of your material is accessible to a diverse audience with diverse needs.
Be aware of the context of the language being used. Some terms are ok to use by people as a means of claiming their identity, but are not ok, and can be seen as derogatory, when used by others.
2USING INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE - UQ GUIDE
In using inclusive language, it is useful to keep the following generic questions in mind: Is it necessary to refer to a person or groups" personal characteristics? If it is, are the references to personal characteristics couched in inclusive terms? Do the references to people reect the diversity of the intended audience, and is the material accessible to the intended audience? Are you excluding people in the design and delivery of your material?Use of inclusive language in educational and
workplace settings Each of us has a responsibility to appreciate the diversity of our community, and take care to ensure we are inclusive of all members of our community; whether this is talking informally with one person, in a lecture, or addressing a meeting. We also have a responsibility to make sure that reasonable members of our community do not perceive what we say as being discriminatory, sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise offfensive. The University will not tolerate the use of discriminatory or offfensive language. Some speciific ways that you can implement inclusive language in educational and workplace settings are: Ensure educational and professional development materials, for example case studies and examples in lectures and professional development settings, accurately reect the diversity of the audience and society generally. When referencing material that includes non-inclusive language, use [sic] to demonstrate that this was used by the original author and is unacceptable language.
When using examples in lectures or professional development workshops, avoid limiting the inclusion of people to only the area of their diversity.
Ensure everything you do in the work and study space, such as developing lecture slides, developing and maintaining websites, scheduling meetings, is accessible for a diverse audience. This includes the language used and the way it is delivered.
Educate yourself on cultural dierences to ensure that your material and the delivery of your material are not oensive in cross-cultural communications.
Address and remove stereotypes or inappropriate language in all instances, including casual conversation, such as a catch up over coee, or discussions in tutorials.
If someone uses inappropriate language in your presence, it is good practice to use a positive, educative approach to inform the person why the language they used is inappropriate, and oer an alternative approach they could use next time.
