Description
Our ethnicity, our gender, our age – all of these aspects are part of our identity. They shape who we are, how we think – and how we experience digital products. This is especially true for the way digital products communicate with us, so for example, if we feel included by the way a question is phrased, or if we feel insulted by a certain metaphor and allusion. And this is exactly why learning about inclusion is crucial for UX Writers. After all, it is our job to create great user experiences for all users, no matter their background and traits.However, we are still not there: Today, many digital products still lack inclusion, especially in their copy: The use of racial slurs, subtle sexism and ageist vocabulary is still widespread is still common.But:What are the effects of sexism, racism, and ageism in the tech and UX industry?What do sexist, racist, and ageist UX design and UX copy look like?How can we ensure that our UX copy is inclusive of users of all backgrounds and demographics?If you ask yourself these and other questions and have not yet found an answer to them, this course is the right choice for you!This course is the second part of a short series about inclusive UX Writing.This course will is about how to write gender-inclusive, anti-racist, and age-inclusive UX copy.The first one is about how to write inclusive UX copy for users with physical disabilities and neurodivergent users.Who should joinThis course is a great choice for all UX Writers and for people who work with UX Writing, including UX and UI designers, developers, product owners, and project managers.
