WriteCast Episode 46: Inclusive Language: Gender-Neutral Pronouns and Identity-First Language

In today's episode of WriteCast, we're testing the social change capabilities of language itself. Staff in the Walden University Writing Center support the research of Walden's scholar-practitioners in the areas of social change, and we also seek to support positive social change in how we think about and practice language. With that in mind, Max and Claire are joined by two very special guests in today's episode. 

Director of the Writing Center, Brian Timmerman and Associate Director of the Writing Center, Amber Cook chat about two new language policies enacted by the Writing Center. These special guests discuss the new Gender-Neutral Pronouns policy and the Identity-First Language policy that Walden students, faculty, and staff will be interested to note.
