Episode 33 - Rethinking Racialized Language, Part 2 w/ Debbie Chaves

The momentum continues! Even though Rethinking Racialized Language Awareness Day on November 20th has passed, the conversation is far from over. In this episode, we're joined by Debbie Chaves, head of copyright and course reserves at Wilfrid Laurier University, who brings her deep expertise on the impact of words that have certain historical contexts, and how libraries are adapting database searches to incorporate more respectful language. This is part of our ongoing effort at WWEST UBC Okanagan to foster inclusivity and decolonization within STEM and beyond. Let's keep reflecting, rethinking, and renaming for a more inclusive future.
