Language and communication can be explicit and implicit; it is a component of culture that is
coded with meanings, attitudes, beliefs and power dynamics. These codes are pervasive and have
impacts on relational and structural outcomes. Over time, our language and its meanings become
layered and can therefore function in different spaces in different ways and for different
purposes. In other words, meanings of words and their implications change over time.
In this hour-long introduction to the concept of coded language, examine the
definition, history, and implications of coded language (also called dog-whistles). You will
increase your awareness around the coded language that many of us use in our daily lives, and
gain practical skills around how to critically assess one's own language, and respond when others
use coded language.
This event is presented in partnership with the Medina Diversity Project.
Note: There is no registration for this event. The event is limited to the first 100 people to join.
