California university stops using the word "field"


Myles

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used the word field in a negative way recently?  The fields my brother farms have nothing to do with race.  The (career) field I work in has nothing to do with race.  The football fields I watch a game on have nothing to do with race.

If someone truly is offended by the word "field", it should be on them to get over it.  

 

The University of Southern California's School of Social Work will no longer use the word "field" because it "may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign," according to a letter from the department.

USC's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work will make the change in order to ensure the use of "inclusive language and practice," according to the letter.

"Specifically, we have decided to remove the term ‘field’ from our curriculum and practice and replace it with ‘practicum,'" the letter said. "This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that would be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language."

I understand what you mean. As a muslim I am in the same position where "informed" people, mostly white non muslims, try to appease muslims - by doing everything counterproductive and putting an extra target on their back.

It's because they are frightened bigots.    It is the same thing as the liar screaming about someone else "She's a Liar!  You can't believe anything she says, she's a liar!"

While, YES, hearing the word “field” would more than likely have been a trigger to an emancipated slave… they’re all dead now.
