Linguistic Justice on Campus: Pedagogy and Advocacy for Multilingual Students(96 New Perspectives on Language and Education)

This book supports writing educators on college campuses to work towards linguistic equity and social justice for multilingual students. It demonstrates how recent advances in theories on language, literacy, and race can be translated into pedagogical and administrative practice in a variety of contexts within US higher educational institutions. The chapters are split across three thematic sections: translingual and anti-discriminatory pedagogy and practices; professional development and administrative work; and advocacy in the writing center. The book offers practice-based examples which aim to counter linguistic racism and promote language pluralism in and out of classrooms, including: teacher training, creating pedagogical spaces for multilingual students to negotiate language standards, and enacting anti-racist and translingual pedagogies across disciplines and in writing centers.

Review :
This landmark volume from a generation of scholars who have come of age during the historic move from monolingual assumptions in the field of composition to multilingual/translingual orientations offers a bridge to those committed to linguistic justice on their campuses. The pedagogically practical chapters provide sound, powerful rationales from scholar teachers who model transformative practices – both pedagogically and methodologically. A practical and research-driven handbook for writing teachers invested in redressing linguistic oppression, Linguistic Justice on Campus demonstrates the possibilities of multilingual writing pedagogies grounded in coalitional action. This collection rightfully centralizes linguistic justice as critical to all that we do in writing classrooms, centers, and programs.
