Embracing Diversity at Flinders: Pronouns Updated in Canvas

At Flinders, we’re committed to making everyone feel respected and included. As part of the Gender Diversity and Vocabulary Management project, we’ve worked with students to update the pronouns list in Canvas, reflecting our diverse community.

This update is the first step in enhancing how our systems recognise pronouns across platforms, with further improvements scheduled in the near future to ensure a more inclusive experience for all users.

 

What do you need to do?

Pronouns are entirely your choice. You can select a value from the list or leave it blank.

Once chosen, your pronouns will appear beside your name in Canvas.  You can update your pronouns from this new list starting 10 October 2024.

If you already have a pronoun selected, please update it to a value from the new list by 15 November 2024. If you haven’t chosen a new pronoun by that date, we’ll automatically map your current pronoun to the closest match on the new list. If that mapping doesn’t feel right, you can update it to another value at any time.
