Session Summary

Translating Theory to Practice: Pedagogies of Raciolinguistics in the Classroom

Fri, April 13, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Lower Level, Sutton Place Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this session we explore how teachers take up raciolinguistics, an intersectional approach that accounts for language in processes of racialization. Though raciolinguistics, as theory, has provided a much-needed lens, the papers in this session ask, what might it look like to take up this lens in pedagogical practice? This session aims to translate raciolinguistic theory to practice, illustrating ways that teachers have attempted to answer this question in a variety of contexts. Across each of these contexts, the different papers lend insight into the ways in which a raciolinguistic approach can help educators build critical pedagogy that makes space for students’ understandings and experiences of race and language.
