As technical communicators, the documentation we create needs to incorporate a wide range of viewpoints and perspectives, promoting responsiveness and engagement with our message. By embracing inclusive communication, we make our products and services more accessible to everyone. It’s our responsibility to ensure we are including people regardless of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, socioeconomic status, or appearance.
Event Timing: January 21, 2020 06:30-08:30 PM
Location: Online through Zoom
On January 21, we will be hosting a panel of mini-presentations covering different aspects of inclusive communication. Julia Southwick, Jessalyn Parrish, and Bethany Aguad will be sharing what they have learned and how to implement best practices for your communication:
