People with non-Anglo or non-European names, which are perceived as being more difficult to pronounce, may feel anxious and excluded. When power dynamics are at play, students and perhaps even those you supervise, advise, or teach often avoid the conflict and resist making corrections or discussing the issue, which may leave them feeling as if they matter less. Join us to learn simple strategies for honoring the names of all those you encounter.

Please take a few minutes to fill out a short survey letting us know about your experience […]
