Whenever I explore research in equity work, either by reading or by talking to experts, I hear all kinds of updates in language.
And when I try to research the idea of language updates, I read all kinds of articles about the difficulty inherent in accurate naming, and sometimes even acknowledgement that striving for the right language is itself rooted in anxiety and perfectionism.
So there’s no easy way through this.
That said, I’ve learned some interesting things I think are worth distilling and sharing. Today let's talk about them!
Vocabulary we discuss today:
Under-represented vs. under-recognized
Minority vs. minoritized and/or excluded
Diversity vs. [specific] diversity
Microaggression vs. abuse
Privilege vs. entitlement
Ally AND accomplice
