Lang, Race & Culture in Ed

Catalog description

This course explores language, race, and culture as co-constitutive forces that shape identities across a wide variety of contexts and communities. Building on sociolinguistic and anthropological understandings, this course incorporates the field of raciolinguistics to theorize race and culture through language studies, examining how the relationship between race and language impacts domains like education and politics. In so doing, students will consider the ways in which identity hierarchies and inequality more generally are (re)produced in educational spaces.
