San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team's Learning Exchange: Aisha Pope on Code-Switching

San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team's Learning Exchange features Aisha Pope, LCSW, San Diego Center for Children.

PRESENTING ON “BROADLY, CODE-SWITCHING INVOLVES ADJUSTING ONE’S STYLE OF SPEECH, APPEARANCE, BEHAVIOR, AND EXPRESSION IN WAYS THAT WILL OPTIMIZE THE COMFORT OF OTHERS IN EXCHANGE FOR FAIR TREATMENT, QUALITY SERVICE, AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES” (MCCLUNEY, ROBOTHAM, LEE, SMITH, & DURKEE, 2019).

FOR MANY BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) PROFESSIONALS, CODESWITCHING COMES NATURALLY AND IS SEEN AS A NECESSARY AND ADVANTAGEOUS SKILL. BUT, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OF CODE-SWITCHING THAT HARM THOSE PROFESSIONALS WHO CODE-SWITCH, THOSE WHO DON'T, THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, AND THE PERSONS SERVED. IN THIS LEARNING EXCHANGE, WE WILL EXPLORE THE CONCEPT OF CODE-SWITCHING, HOW IT HURTS, AND WHAT WORKPLACES CAN DO TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR CODE-SWITCHING IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
