Seeking changed language to the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms

  • 1.  Seeking changed language to the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms

    Posted Jan 11, 2024 02:12 PM
    ACRL-ESMIG,
    Together with colleagues we're seeking changed language in the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms. Specifically we are calling for a change from "Blacks" to "Black People." Linked below is an open letter to APA requesting this change along with a form where you (if interested) could add your signature to the letter. The letter writers are accepting signatures until January 24, 2024 at 5:00pm CT.
    The open letter: https://z.umn.edu/APAThesaurusLetter
    The e-form for adding your signature: https://z.umn.edu/SignAPAThesaurusLetter

    Thanks for considering, 
    Amy Riegelman
