Accent Bias and Navigating Language Barriers

Are you interested in bridging communication barriers with your colleagues and with members of the public? You are invited to attend the seminar on Accent Bias and Navigating Language Barriers, presented by Catherine Sweet, SLP.

 

This event will detail what causes an accent, how to make unconscious accent bias more conscious, and ways to navigate language barriers caused by differences in language ability (not accents).


At Dalhousie, we work with faculty, staff, and students from all over the world. Effective communication is key both to our workplaces and our communities. Learning skills to improve our communication does not have to be time-consuming or challenging – it simply requires us to bring awareness to our communication strengths.
