Workshops on Language and Social Justice
This workshop series aims to promote social justice by advocating for linguistic justice and by addressing implicit and explicit bias against non-standard varieties of English, English as a second language, and non-English minority languages. The workshop leaders guide the participants in critical reflections upon language ideologies and language practices that strengthen, neglect or undermine linguistic richness and linguistic rights. They also support the participants in the actual development of improvement plans in light of linguistic justice.

MIC-PWR Writing Workshop 2022
Organizers:
- The Center for Multilingual & Intercultural Communication (MIC) is an interdisciplinary research center where scholars of linguistics, psychology, communication, education, and allied disciplines explore multilingual repertoires as resources in the context of global mobility and technological advancement.
- The Program in Writing and Rhetoric teaches foundational, elective, and graduate-level writing and communication skills to students across the university
As graduate students, you must often read hundreds of pages per week, scanning for what you need, skimming for grasping the main idea, and reading some texts more slowly than others. You must use different kinds of reading skills while searching and selecting texts, organizing and prioritizing them, and responding to them for developing your research agenda in relation to the scholarship in your field. And you must develop a variety of skills to make productive reading-to- writing connections. In this workshop, you will do practical exercises/discussions on reading faster, more effectively, and more purposefully as graduate students in the context of research and writing, publication and communication in graduate school.
This workshop helps grad students practice literature review skills, focusing on strategies for finding, reading, assessing, and generating ideas from current scholarship and toward taking their own intellectual position in the field.
