You can select pronouns and also change your display name on Canvas.

Click on the “Account” button in the left global navigation.
In the sidebar that pops up on the left, click “Profile.”
On the Profile page, click the Edit Profile button - it may be three dots, or labeled “Edit Settings.” (This button will appear on the right or bottom of the page, depending on the size of your device.)
To change your display name, click into the field labelled “Name” and make any necessary changes to your name. (Make sure you don’t delete your last name in the process.)

If desired you can set Pronouns. Next to “Pronouns” click the drop-down box and select your pronouns from the list. You can also select 'None' or 'Any Pronouns'.
Click “Update Settings.” Your pronouns and/or display name will now be listed on this page and in any Canvas sites you’re enrolled in: in comments, discussion posts, the inbox, and the “People” tab. You can return to this page to update your pronouns and/or display name at any time.

Any changes you make to your pronouns or display name will be reflected in all of your Canvas courses, past and present. Canvas does not currently offer the ability to make changes only in specific courses.
If your pronouns are not represented in the drop-down menu, please contact LTHelp@gsa.ac.uk.
You may consider contacting your instructors in advance of to let them know your preferred pronouns.
