Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scholarly contributions that serve to collaboratively evaluate the texts, perspectives, practices, and implications surrounding the Flores v. Arizona case. Each paper in this symposium addresses an essential question regarding ELL policy and is interested in clarifying the intersections between language policy, legal activity, and the consequences of both for ELL students. The multiple perspectives, methods, and findings woven through distinct but interconnected realms of educational scholarship sustain the dialogue surrounding pressing and timely issues regarding educational resources and possibilities for English language learner (ELL) students inside and outside the state of Arizona, now and in the future.
