DEI Bytes: Moving Toward Inclusive IT Terminology

September 28, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

This will be a discussion on changing common IT terminology that is exclusionary language. A common example would be master/slave, master/main, blacklist/whitelist vs. blocked/allowed as it is racially insensitive. Another example, SCRUM master, which invokes a potential feeling of superiority over others.

Speaker: 

  • Matt Beglinger (he/him), Manager, Inpatient Clinical and Pharmacy Applications at UnityPoint Health

Registration is now closed. A recording will be available following the event on the TAI website.
