Inclusive Language in Standards Development: A Conversation With Muhammad Ali and Caroline Treuthardt

In this episode, we explore the role of inclusive language in the development of gender-responsive standards with Muhammad Ali, senior standards strategy and policy leader at HP Inc. and Caroline Treuthardt, project manager at UL Standards & Engagement.

Through Word to the W.I.S.E., we aim to have these conversations, build awareness, and explore future strategies to increase women’s participation in the development of both standards and technical regulations. We will also explore examples of international standards that are truly gender responsive.

Remember, you too can have your say. 

Just use the #whystandardsmatter hashtag across social media and submit any questions or feedback on the Word to the W.I.S.E. podcast at ULSE.org/contact. We will try to address questions and comments in future episodes.

We also encourage all female leaders in STEM fields to participate in our standards development process by applying for membership on one of our Technical Committees.
