Event Details
What words do we use, how do we use them, and who gets to say what, and who decides? In an era when we are at times becoming more aware of renaming of places (i.e., removing “Squaw” and reassessing violent figures), we also seem less prone to check our language in other arenas, with extreme language showing up more frequently in politics and profanity appears in more general use. Norms of what is acceptable are changing rapidly. Join Clay Jenkinson and a panel of experts in this CCI about how the words we use shape the world we interact in every day.
