Gentrification 2.0 in Dual-Language Bilingual Education: New Ways of Peeling the Layers From Districts to Schools
Mon, April 12, 9:30 to 11:00am EDT (9:30 to 11:00am EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Bilingual Education Research Paper and Symposium SessionsSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The growth in the number of dual language bilingual education (DLBE) has been mainstreamed and popularized, driven by economic and defense initiatives, and the increase in educational ‘choice’ programs. DLBE programs are now used as an instrumental strategy to keep and attract families of economic privilege, crowding out Emergent Bilinguals from DLBE’s focus, unless they satisfy the instrumental language goals of the privileged group. Coined the ‘gentrification of dual language’ (Authors, 2016), this symposium focuses on how gentrification manifests at the district and school levels. By examining various contexts of DLBE policy and practice, we are able to map the intricate ways each system may serve intentionally or unintentionally to gentrify DLBE.
