American Psychological Association Guidance

Download the APA’s “inclusive language guidelines that are written for those working to champion equity, diversity, and inclusion in the spaces that they learn, teach, work, or conduct research. APA is committed to true change in its work to address systemic racism and other forms of destructive social hierarchies. This requires avoiding language that perpetuates harm or offense toward members of marginalized communities through our communications. This go-to resource aims to provide guidance on inclusive and appropriate language in writing and conversation.” https://pages.apa.org/edi-guidelines/
