[Hybrid Event] Language Summit 2022: Day 2

UNC FPG and SSW invite you to attend Language Summit 2022

FPG and the UNC School of Social Work are co-sponsoring Language Summit 2022. As you may remember, last year, FPG held a similar internal event. This year, we are partnering with UNC SSW and welcome a broader UNC audience.

The summit will take place across four days—while attendees are encouraged to attend multiple sessions, you do not have to attend all to benefit from the presentations/discussions.

Together, we will think through the importance of intentional language use and how language can be harmful, understand how language is always changing and changes are typically seen in spoken language before written language, and develop more inclusive language practices across daily communications in our work and in our communities.

Language Summit events will take place October 11, 13, 18, & 20.
