@ZrAlexKapitan Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation in the #ACESConsciousLanguage session. Hope I get a chance to meet you at the conference. I’m a friend of @rhiannonroot’s.
@karenyin @PurplePenning Extremely informative session for those of us whose first area of expertise isn’t in this area. And the diversity of the panel was impressive. Thanks for organizing. #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019
The #ACESConsciousLanguage panelists have some great tips on handling religion with nuance, and as a Catholic and someone who cares about religion in general (and how we talk about it), it's comforting to hear religion discussed with such care. #ACES2019
Avoid the urge to sensationalize examples of past anti-Semitism in a current article. Consider using one example rather than multiple, and offer Jewish perspective. @aleksandraedits and @ZrAlexKapitan #ACES2019 #ACESConsciousLanguage
More #ACESConsciousLanguage tips:
-Avoid “agnostic” if you’re not talking about religion. Try “undecided” or literally anything else.
-Use “anti-“ a religion or group instead of “phobic” #ACES2019
Respect and use people’s self-identified religions — but remember you have the moral responsibility to call out euphemistic coverups of white supremacy and hate - @ZrAlexKapitan #aces2019 #ACESConsciousLanguage
Be clear about self-identification. #ACESConsciousLanguage
When creating a style guide or glossary for spelling non-English words (think: Hanukkah/Chanukah), consult experts for spelling. As editors we have to pick a preferred spelling and stick with it. #ACESConsciousLanguage
Check info for style book as you would for a fact check. #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019 @aleksandraedits
#ACESConsciousLanguage tips for editors from @ZrAlexKapitan:
-challenge who gets to speak for religion in articles (are we only quoting conservative voices?)
-question the language that gets used (what assumptions are we making)
-don’t paint all religions with a single brush
Seek multiple viewpoints. Ask experts, scholars, adherents when developing style guide. Especially with spelling. #ACES2019 #ACESConsciousLanguage @aleksandraedits
Consider theology when developing style guide: ask why a group has a preference. #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019 @aleksandraedits
Easy to conflate religiously similar terms. Tithing in Christian tradition is different from Islam's zakat. @aleksandraedits #ACES2019 #ACESConsciousLanguage

Be careful of conflating concepts that are similar but not the same - Muslim alms-giving (zakat) is different from Christian tithing. #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019
“One thing that we know about religion is that people don’t know much about it.” @aleksandraedits #NotAtACES #ACES2019 #ONAUSFSP #ACESConsciousLanguage
"Religious freedom" has become coded language for freedom to discriminate. Editors need to point this out; use quotes around the phrase. -@zralexkapitan #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019
Religious freedom has become synonymous with the freedom to discriminate. The meaning has been completely subverted.
As editors, we can help: Use quotes, etc. —@ZrAlexKapitan #ACES2019 #ACESConsciousLanguage
There are queer, trans leaders in every religion! Don't let them be erased by assumed intolerance #ACESConsciousLanguage #ACES2019
