Breaking Ground - Words have Power
The Breaking Ground: Words Have Power training focuses on language as an essential tool for inclusion and equality. Participants will be introduced to the concepts of people-first and coded language, and will develop an awareness of non-inclusive language that negatively affects members of the Chapman community. Inclusive language will be explored in relation to federally protected and/or underrepresented identities on campus—including race, ethnicity, gender, citizenship, disability status, etc. In addition, participants will learn about Hate Incident and Hate Crime protocol. By the end of this training, individuals will have the knowledge to speak inclusively and to actively advocate for communities or identities often targeted by non-inclusive language.
