Resource Description

This resource provides a starting point for exploring key terms as they relate to equity, diversity, inclusion, oppression, identity, access, and culture.  It includes terms used in diversity-learning frameworks, social justice movements, and academic research. The glossary is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of terminology used in our conversations about diversity and equity. Because language is a reflection of the lived experience, many of these words and terms will continue to evolve as the lived experience evolves. Even so, it is still useful to have a reference that provides basic working definitions to facilitate shared discussions.
