Cutting-edge language practices go far beyond translation and bilingual exhibit text. Choice of language in exhibits, programs, and processes can help museums become more inclusive. Gender-neutral terminology, nonverbal interfaces, and other tools offer opportunities for expanding audiences and diversifying perspectives. Presenters working with science centers, art museums, and Alaska Native communities will describe new approaches and lead audience discussion. #DEAI
