Workshops on Language and Social Justice

The 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.
