The words of the Equal Opportunity Committee

Words are important and must be known and used correctly. 
That's why the University of Genoa's Equal Opportunity Committee is introducing “The Words of the CPO”: on the Committee's website and on UniGe's Instagram profile you can find the terminology from this special ever-changing glossary, with the goal of helping people navigate old and new terms, clarify some doubts and stimulate reflection.

Many of the expressions come from the Gender Language Guidelines glossary, a very useful tool to help the UniGe community write and think more about lexical choices.

More information on the CPO website.
