Abstract
Objective
Demonstrate the impact versus intent of language and how to change our language to be more inclusive, reduce stigma, and address unconscious biases.
Use of Theory or Research
Discusses prior research conducted by Dickinson et al (2017) from "The Use of Language in Diabetes."
Target Audience
SNAP educators
Course/Curriculum Description
Reviews impact versus intent when speaking to groups of people experiencing bias and stigma. Discusses how to address unconscious bias and change language to be inclusive.
Evaluation Methods
This is an informative session based on prior research conducted in the fields of diabetes, stigma, and unconscious bias and has been adapted to accommodate the needs of SNAP-related audiences. This is not original research conducted by the author. While this information has been previously presented in various forms to diverse groups of audiences, no evaluation has been conducted on audience participants.
Conclusions
The language we use when speaking or writing is powerful and can have significant impact on personal biases, behavior towards others, and our ability to communicate. Current research conducted on bias, stigma, and language confirm the necessity for changing language and developing more effective communication when speaking to low income populations. This session provides tips for language used by SNAP educators and thought-provoking questions to allow for addressing our own potential biases and analyzing the impact of our conversations.
