In an increasingly diverse and interconnected world, the importance of allyship in education cannot be overstated. This presentation seeks to address the critical issue of fragility in allyship when working with or teaching students from marginalized communities. Fragility can manifest as discomfort, defensiveness, or avoidance when confronting issues related to race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other forms of marginalization. Such fragility not only hinders meaningful progress but also perpetuates systemic inequalities.
This presentation will explore strategies and insights aimed at dismantling fragility and fostering robust allyship within educational contexts.

We often hear the term 'politically correct' or 'PC' to describe when individuals feel they have to change their terminology to not offend another person. However, this presentation will challenge us to move away 'politically correct' terms and focus more on inclusive, validating terms, phrases, and descriptors for different groups. The focus will be on exploring how inclusive language in the classroom when teaching, discussing students/faculty, and when creating materials can transform how students absorb information, and feel welcomed and safe. This introductory presentation will focus on defining marginalized population, person-first language, and addressing some of our implicit bias and stereotypes.
