Diversity resources online. Please add any that you find helpful.

A few coworkers and I have been asked to put together a presentation on the subject of "language, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism" specifically in IT/IT documentation. We're just starting the research stage right now (things like not using "master/slave", "white list/black list", etc.)

I found that LinkedInLearning has quite a bit of diversity training on line but I'm not sure how many people would have access to that resource. One course that I just started is "How to Engage Meaningfully in Allyship and Anti-racism". Another course I queued on my list is "Using Gender Inclusive Language."

I thought someone else may be interested in checking these other resources out. Some sites we've found helpful so far are:

Pronouns.org
https://pronouns.org/

American Psychological Association - Inclusive Language
https://www.apa.org/about/apa/equity-diversity-inclusion/language-guidelines

3. Activities for First-Year College

I've used material from this site http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/index.html in a first-year seminar, particularly the quizzes [link:http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/quizzes.html|http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/quizzes.html The incorrect perceptions we can get from the media are debunked.

The tests at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html are amazing. I used them as an option for an ethics module in an engineering course. They test the automatic responses we have to those who may be different. Maybe use one as an optional pre-presentation activity.
