Non-inclusive Language and Education

References with Non-inclusive language

Given the relatively short time that inclusive language has been in practice, it is likely that non-inclusive language will be referred to from time to time. Use [sic] after any phrase or word that is non-inclusive to show that you recognise the term or phrase as inappropriate.

Ensure Materials Reflect the Diversity of People

Use pictures and text that reflect the diversity within Australian culture and within the University, making sure stereotypes are not being portrayed.

It is also important to ensure people of diverse backgrounds are not presented as oddities.

Avoid Limiting the Inclusion of People to only the Area of their Diversity

Using people with disabilities only in disability related materials, or Indigenous people only in materials relating to Indigenous culture, both stereotypes these groups and insinuates they are limited only to those areas.
