66.034 - Rethinking and Undoing Academic Language
Sun, April 19, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Marriott, Floor: Tenth Level, Water TowerSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This panel seeks to critically examine the ways that academic language has been conceptualized in mainstream educational research and explore the ways that these dominant conceptualizations have contributed to the marginalization of language-minoritized students. Incorporating insights from critical social theory, linguistic anthropology, and critical applied linguistics, the major goal of this panel is to connect theory and practice in ways that produce new conceptualizations of language that are truly transformative in the education of language-minoritized students.
