Guidelines for Nonsexist Communication. (Revised).
Bowers, Bege K.; And Others
Designed for all persons who conduct classes and for staff, administrators, and students, this booklet lays out guidelines for nonsexist communication. The booklet, intended both to raise consciousness about how sexist communication looks and sounds and to suggest nonsexist alternatives, is composed of four main sections. The first section contains the guidelines, and covers pronouns, nouns, verbs, and adjectives; how to handle sexist quotations; work-related titles; and courtesy titles. The second section offers additional guidelines for nonsexist communication in the classroom and elsewhere in the university community. Additional guidelines for nonsexist communication in visuals are dealt with in the third section; while the fourth section covers recommendations for raising awareness throughout the university community. An 8-item bibliography concludes the booklet. (SR)
