The Department is submitting a course revision proposal for CRJ/PHI 321 to remove the ‘hidden’ prerequisite of PHI 231, change the course prefix to PSC and drop the cross-listing with the Philosophy Department. Since the course is exclusively offered and staffed by LPS, this should not affect philosophy enrollments. Rationale: We are requesting the change to the overall credits for the major and listing the prerequisites explicitly to comply with Vice Chancellor Vita Rabinowitz’s memo requiring such. Approved by UCASC, March 31, to College Council, April 25, 2017 7 B1 POLICE STUDIES (BS) The Police Studies major provides a comprehensive understanding

  • Pronouns: a Resource Supporting Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (Gnc) Educators and Students
    PRONOUNS: A RESOURCE SUPPORTING TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING (GNC) EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS Why focus on pronouns? You may have noticed that people are sharing their pronouns in introductions, on nametags, and when GSA meetings begin. This is happening to make spaces more inclusive of transgender, gender nonconforming, and gender non-binary people. Including pronouns is a first step toward respecting people’s gender identity, working against cisnormativity, and creating a more welcoming space for people of all genders. How is this more inclusive? People’s pronouns relate to their gender identity. For example, someone who identifies as a woman may use the pronouns “she/her.” We do not want to assume people’s gender identity based on gender expression (typically shown through clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, etc.) By providing an opportunity for people to share their pronouns, you're showing that you're not assuming what their gender identity is based on their appearance. If this is the first time you're thinking about your pronoun, you may want to reflect on the privilege of having a gender identity that is the same as the sex assigned to you at birth. Where do I start? Include pronouns on nametags and during introductions. Be cognizant of your audience, and be prepared to use this resource and other resources (listed below) to answer questions about why you are making pronouns visible. If your group of students or educators has never thought about gender-neutral language or pronouns, you can use this resource as an entry point. What if I don’t want to share my pronouns? That’s ok! Providing space and opportunity for people to share their pronouns does not mean that everyone feels comfortable or needs to share their pronouns.

  • Guide to Being a Trans Ally* 2 Introduction
    the incredibly detailed honest forthright fully comprehensive completely blunt wonderfully helpful and witty exposition on a topic that makes some people stress because they doubt they understand it or know enough about it but they’ll soon be ready to talk because this compelling and transformative (no pun intended) little publication will answer lots of questions and start to demystify the not-at-all secret world of people who are transgender and become your tried and trusted guide to being a trans ally* 2 Introduction 5 Equality Guideposts 6 Chapter 1: Words. A lot of words. Chapter 2: Who are allies, anyway? contents 20 28 Chapter 3: Working through the barriers 46 Chapter 4: Going further on the journey 57 Chapter 5: Come out, come out, wherever you are 63 Equality Literacy 70 Acknowledgments 71 About PFLAG National 72 Connect with Straight for Equality 1 introduction Allies have been indispensable in the journey of transgender people. Without them, this would be a very lonely road. Alyssa If there’s one thing that we can say about being an ally, it’s this: It is all about the journey. When PFLAG National launched the Straight for Equality program in 2007, the mission was— if you’ll excuse our nearly inexcusable pun—pretty straightforward. We wanted to create a resource and community for people who are not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/ questioning (LGBTQ+) to understand why their voices are critical to achieving equality for all, and provide them with the information and tools to effectively raise their voices. To lead people on the path from “Soooo not my issue…” to one of support (or even Super Ally status), we’d have to start at the very beginning.

  • Japanese Female and 'Trans' Athletes
    Japanese Female and ‘Trans’ Athletes: Negotiating Subjectivity and Media Constructions of Gender, Sexuality, and Nation by Satoko Itani A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Satoko Itani (2015) Japanese Female and ‘Trans’ Athletes: Negotiating Subjectivity and Media Constructions of Gender, Sexuality, and Nation Satoko Itani Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The focus of this thesis is twofold: 1) the construction of Japanese female athletes in ‘masculine’ sports by Japanese media in terms of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and nation; and 2) Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes’ negotiation with Japanese gender and sexuality norms in the formation of their gendered subjectivities. A theoretical framework informed by feminist, queer, and postcolonial theories is used to analyze the discursive constructions and constitution of subjectivities of Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes in the ‘masculine’ sports of soccer and wrestling. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze Japanese mainstream newspaper and magazines published between 2001 and 2012 and in-depth interviews with twelve Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes in wrestling and soccer. The result of the media analysis illustrates that Japanese mainstream media used multiple normative and normalizing ii discursive tactics to construct Japanese female athletes within patriarchal, sexist, and heterosexist gender and sexual norms. These discourses were also mobilized in the reporting of international competitions in which the success of Japanese female athletes was appropriated to construct Japanese national identity in order to recuperate Japanese masculinity.

  • Personal Pronouns and Gender Inclusivity in the Classroom
    Personal Pronouns and Gender Inclusivity in the Classroom What is a preferred name? A preferred first name is a name that you commonly use that is different from your legal first name. What are personal (‘preferred’) pronouns? A personal pronoun is the pronoun that a person chooses to use for themself. You may have heard of this referred to as a ‘preferred gender pronoun’ (PGP). However, there are good reasons to avoid the term ‘preferred’ pronoun (that you can read more about in this blog) so within this guide it will be referred to as personal pronoun. What are common personal pronouns? She/her/hers and he/him/his are commonly used gendered pronouns. They/them/their are gender- neutral pronouns commonly used along with a few others. Please refer to the table below for common personal pronouns and how they might be used. Pronouns are listed in the table in the following order: subjective, objective, possessive adjective, possessive pronoun, and reflexive. Subjective Objective Possessive Possessive Reflexive Adjective Pronoun She Her Her Hers Herself He Him His His Himself They Them Their Theris Themselves Ze Hir Hir Hirs Hirself Ze Zim Zir Zirs Zirself Ze Zir Zir Zirs Zirself Ey Em Eir Eirs Eirself Per Per Per Pers Perself Some individuals prefer to be called only by their name and not by any pronouns. How do I know what pronouns to use? Do not assume that you can correctly guess someone’s personal pronouns by merely looking at them. It may be best to ask. If you are communicating with a student one-on-one or in a small group you can try the following: • Introduce yourself and share your pronouns before asking the same in return • “What pronouns do you use?” • “How should I refer to you?” What are some strategies that can be implemented to create a gender inclusive classroom environment? • Set a respectful tone in the classroom by establishing guidelines for the classroom on the first day.

    ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF WHITMAN COLLEGE STUDENT SENATE SESSION 2015 SPRING TERM IN THE SENATE RESOLUTION SRS15.5 WRITTEN BY: Arthur Shemitz ‘17 and Corinne Vandagriff ‘15 SPONSORED BY: Sayda Morales ‘15 A Resolution to Incorporate Respect for Preferred Gender Pronouns into the Whitman Experience WHEREAS preferred gender pronouns are those by which an individual feels most comfortable being referred to by (e.g., she/her/her, he/him/his, they/them/their, ze/hir/his using one’s name as their only pronoun); and; WHEREAS students who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, and/or outside of the gender binary often choose to identify under a new name and/or set of preferred pronouns than those they were assigned at birth; and WHEREAS allowing individuals the freedom to define their own identity, including the way in which they would like others to refer to them, is a vital component of respecting an individual’s gender identity; and WHEREAS Hampshire College states that allowing students the ability to define their preferred pronouns is especially important within college classroom settings because “[a]sking your students what their preferred pronouns are and consistently using them correctly can determine within the first few minutes if they will feel respected at Hampshire College or not”;1 and WHEREAS Whitman’s Statement on Diversity states, “Diversity is fundamentally important to the character and mission of Whitman College. Diversity enriches our community and enhances intellectual and personal growth.

  • The Challenge of Implementing Preferred Gender Pronouns
    The Challenge of Implementing Preferred Gender Pronouns: Queer Autonomy in the Age of Information Technologies https://doi.org/10.51897/interalia/BTAW6071 Zooey Sophia Pook New Mexico State University A preferred gender pronoun or PGP is the gender pronoun, or set of gender pronouns, an individual uses to represent themselves and by which they would like others to use when they represent them (PFLAG). The use of PGPs is meant to show respect to the autonomy of individuals whose gender identity may not conform to the appearance of others, or individuals whose identity is gender non-binary (HRC). The use of PGPs is suggested as a best practice by nearly every major LGBT+ organization in the US (PFLAG, HRC, etc.). Today, systems for implementing PGPs exist everywhere from college applications, hospital intake forms, dating websites, and beyond. While the use of PGPs shows respect for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, these practices have unintended consequences as they contribute to the ever-expanding economies of data collection, made possible through the rise of information technologies. This work will explore questions of economy and power related to the collection of PGPs and the challenge of queer autonomy in the age of neoliberal capitalism. Keywords: preferred pronouns, neoliberalism, queer theory, algorithms, information capital Introduction A preferred gender pronoun or PGP is the gender pronoun, or set of gender pronouns, an individual uses to represent themselves and which they would like others to use when they represent them (PFLAG). The use of PGPs is meant to show respect for the autonomy of individuals whose gender identity may not conform to the way they are perceived by others, or individuals whose identity is gender non-binary (HRC).

  • Using Nonbinary Pronouns to Break Silence in the Legal Field
    TO EACH THEIR OWN: Using Nonbinary Pronouns to Break Silence in the Legal Field Ezra Graham Lintner Abstract The last decade has been monumental in the fight for trans- gender rights, including a growing recognition of transgender identity. This shift has also created space for those with nuanced gender identities—such as those who are nonbinary—to join the conversation. Individuals who identify as nonbinary do not identi- fy as “male” or “female,” but rather as both, neither, or something altogether separate. Nonbinary people use often use alternative pronouns, such as “they/them/theirs,” to refer to themselves. While these pronouns are increasingly being accepted into the lexicon of American English, the legal field is far behind in its acceptance and use of nonbinary pronouns. Although the law has made great strides in recognizing nonbi- nary identity within the last five years, the legal field cannot support the progress of transgender rights until regularly utilizes nonbinary pronouns, such as “they/them/theirs,” in law school classrooms, legal academic writing, and legal practice. Furthermore, the legal field’s failure to recognize such pronouns is a form of oppressive silencing that serves to uphold a false gender binary while also delegitimizing nonbinary identity. Critical Race Theory provides a generalizable framework for better understanding this silencing so that transgen- der rights activists and scholars can effectively resist it. Specifically, the scholars behind Critical Race Theory had to break the oppres- sive silencing forced upon them by white academia in order for the ideas, theories, writing, and scholarship of legal scholars of color to be respected in legal academia.

  • Examples of Microaggressions in the Classroom
    Examples of Microaggressions in the Classroom Microaggressions: everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership. - Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D. Microaggressions may be based on socioeconomic status, disability, gender, gender expression or identify, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. These insults or insensitivities may be exhibited by students or adults within the school community – keep that in mind when considering each example. As reported and documented by students, the following are offered as examples for reflection in an effort to raise awareness and sensitivity toward creating more inclusive and supportive classroom and school environments. Failing to learn to pronounce or continuing to mispronounce the names of students after they have corrected you. Scheduling tests and project due dates on religious or cultural holidays. Disregarding religious traditions or their details. (Ex. Impacts of fasting) Setting low expectations for students from particular groups, neighborhoods, or feeder patterns. Calling on, engaging and validating one gender, class, or race of students while ignoring other students during class. Assigning student tasks or roles that reinforce particular gender roles or don’t allow all students flexibility across roles and responses. Anticipating students’ emotional responses based on gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity. Using inappropriate humor in class that degrades students from different groups. Expressing racially charged political opinions in class assuming that the targets of those opinions do not exist in class. Using the term “illegals” to reference undocumented students. Hosting debates in class that place students from groups who may represent a minority opinion in class in a difficult position.
