Many people struggle with feeling like they do not belong in a group because of their, height, body weight, age, disability, skin colour, religion, sexual orientation, or even gender.

Meet Jenifer Clausell-Tormos, a research scientist with a PhD in Technology Development, and Founder of the software Develop Diverse – an inclusive writing platform. Her talk will help you understand how we unconsciously exclude groups of people with what we say and how we say it, how social norms affect our language, and most importantly, what we can do to avoid it.
