Honoring Identity: The Power of Pronouns in Building Inclusive Communities

Tuesday, April 22, 10 – 11:20 a.m. and 1 - 2:20 p.m.; Via Zoom

Join presenters Hannah Cooksey (they/them) and Alice Barnett (she/her, they/them) for an engaging and educational discussion on the importance of respecting and normalizing the use of pronouns, particularly in support of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. This event will explore how the intentional use of inclusive language fosters a sense of belonging, affirms individual identities, and helps dismantle harmful assumptions and biases.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role pronouns play in gender identity, the evolving language around gender inclusivity, and practical strategies for creating respectful, affirming environments in classrooms, workplaces, and beyond. Together, we'll examine how small actions—like sharing and honoring pronouns—can make a big impact in building a more just and inclusive community for all.
