Language reflects lived experiences and theoretical stances. Language and discourse constitute identity, social location, and possibility, and reproduce power and dominance. Let us shine the light on language that anchors and feeds white supremacy and various forms of oppression in and through nursing. Let us interrogate, deconstruct, and revoke such ideologies in practice settings, the canon and hidden pedagogy of nursing education, lines of inquiry in research priorities, as well as the regulatory machinery of all dimensions of nursing. Only when we uproot this infrastructure will we truly advance nursing. While language evolves, this glossary can serve as a platform for collective dialogue and action.
