Nordic Regional Chapter event, including a short presentation: Navigating the complexities of inclusive language

Monday, 15 May 2023

The Nordic Regional Chapter kicked off its 2023 programme on 14 March, with a presentation entitled ‘Navigating the complexities of inclusive language’ from Emilia Harding.

Emilia explored the role of inclusive language in science, including how thoughtful and deliberate choices in wording can help to promote diversity, reduce bias, and ensure that individuals are valued and respected. Relevant challenges in science editing and publishing were discussed and practical tips and resources were provided to help empower participants to have conversations and make decisions about potentially sensitive topics.

Ines Steffens, Chair of the Nordic Regional Chapter, hosted a Q&A afterwards.
