| Course Title: Advanced Studies in Language and Society: '(Trans)Languaging Social Justice' |
| Start Date: 09/04/2024 End Date: 12/17/2024 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2024 |
| Description: The concept of linguistic justice refers to the right to communicate and engage in the language and variety in which one feels more comfortable and powerful, as the foundation of equitable access to social and political life. Under this framework, this course examines the role of language in promoting or denying social justice. We will explore languaging -- language as a social practice related to constructing meaning and knowledge -- in areas such as education, law, immigration, health care, artificial intelligence, race and ethnicity ideologies, among others. A main goal of this course is to build our critical language awareness through self-reflection to support rhetorical agency for social change. |
