课程名称：语言与歧视 课程概述： 本课程旨在深入探讨语言在歧视问题中所扮演的关键角色。语言既可以固化刻板印象和歧视性观念，也可以成为挑战歧视、追求平等的有力工具。然而，“政治正确”的过度简化往往导致了概念的混乱。本课程将澄清语言与歧视之间的复杂关系，消除由此产生的误解。 许多人倾向于简单地禁止某些词语的使用，这种方法未能触及问题的本质，反而使得许多人将重要的议题视为“过度的政治正确”。这种简化的途径酿成了大问题：它导致一些完全没有问题的语言形式遭到否定，而一些带有歧视性的语言却无人质疑。此外，鉴于害怕被指责为种族主义、性别歧视或其他不当言论，许多人选择回避这个话题。 Neil Thompson博士在平等、多元化和包容性，以及消除和解决歧视方面拥有丰富的写作和教学经验。他多年的实践经验表明，关于语言在歧视中所起作用的混乱和过度简化不仅非常普遍，而且造成了巨大危害。 学习目标： * 理解语言在强化和挑战歧视方面的双重作用。 * 辨析“政治正确”对语言与歧视关系的过度简化及其负面影响。 * 学习如何更 nuanced (微妙) 地理解和处理语言中的歧视问题，避免一概而论。 * 建立自信，在公共领域就与语言和歧视相关的议题进行有建设性的讨论。 * 识别并应对日常生活中遇到的歧视性语言。
Language has long been recognized as playing an important role in relation to discrimination. This is because it can, on the one hand, reinforce stereotypes and discriminatory assumptions or, on the other, play a part in challenging them and seeking to eliminate them. Unfortunately, however, the notion of ‘political correctness' has oversimplified complex issues and created a great deal of confusion. This course dispels all that confusion by clarifying the relationship between language and discrimination.An oversimplified approach that simply seeks to ban the use of certain words has contributed to many people dismissing important issues as ‘political correctness gone mad'. This is a significant problem, as it means that some perfectly unproblematic forms of language are disapproved of, while some forms of discriminatory language go unchallenged. In addition, many people avoid the subject because they fear being criticized for saying something deemed racist, sexist or otherwise unacceptable.Dr Neil Thompson has written and taught extensively about equality, diversity and inclusion and the need to avoid and address discrimination. His experience over many years has taught him that confusions and oversimplifications about the role of language in discrimination are not only very common, but also do a lot of harm.
