This episode kicks off the Westcoast Women in Engineering Science and Technology's 'Rethinking Racialized Language' campaign, launching on November 20, 2024.

Throughout the month, we’ll hear from panellists challenging colonial language, like the term 'whitepaper', as well as discuss ways to promote inclusive language within academia and beyond.

Our first panellist to kick off the series is Serge Villemure.

He is a former N-SERC Director for the Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering Program and is now an Equity Diversity and Inclusion consultant. He has spent years integrating EDI principles across policies and programs. From organizing Montreal’s Gender Summit 11 to advising organizations globally, he brings a deep commitment to making research and language more inclusive at every level.

In our conversation, we discussed how the kind of language we use shapes perceptions and can reinforce or break down systemic biases.
