Dr. D-L Stewart and Shani Barrax Moore discuss pronouns at the 2018 UNT Equity and Diversity Conference. 

When introducing yourself, do you include your pronouns? Pronouns are words like she, him, and they which are used in place of a person’s name when speaking about them. By introducing yourself with your pronouns, you show that you don’t assume the pronouns of the people around you, which may different than you think. That’s what the importance of an awareness of pronouns is all about – we can’t know someone’s pronouns for sure unless we ask, and declaring our own during introductions is a great way to start the conversation.We don't present any of these as perfect resources beyond critique, but as resources that you might find useful in your context that perhaps you can borrow from or build from.
