I'm really glad to share that I identify with the "calibrator" approach when it comes to pronouncing names. It means a lot to me because my own name is difficult to pronounce.
Being a "calibrator" is something I take seriously because I understand firsthand the impact it can have when someone takes the time and effort to get your name right. My own experiences with a challenging name have made me more empathetic and considerate when it comes to how I address others.
I believe that when teachers make the effort to pronounce names correctly, it sends a powerful message that individuals' identities are acknowledged and respected. It's not just about getting a name right; it's about creating an inclusive and respectful learning environment.
Because of my personal connection to this issue, I'm even more committed to being a "calibrator." I want to ensure that no one else has to go through the discomfort or humiliation of having their name consistently mispronounced. It's my way of contributing positively to my academic community and promoting inclusivity and respect. I plan to continue these efforts and encourage others to do the same.
