Centering Linguistic Diversity and Justice in Course Design – LSA webinar
Greatly enjoying this first in a planned series of LSA webinars on Racial Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Linguistics Curriculum. I found this to be relevant, timely, and important regardless of whether or not you are currently teaching courses in Linguistics.
Words and Actions podcast
Our conversation pairs quite nicely with my recent post about resumes as a conversation (note that in the UK, the term “CV” has a different – read: broader – linguistic scope, such that what they are talking about when they talk about “CV” is more aligned with what we would call a “resume” in the US).
