On Friday, November 19 from 1:15-2:30pm EST via Zoom, I will be presenting on a panel titled “A Different Mirror:” Linguistic Histories of Being Asian/American (in the English classroom).
Proposal Description
For Asian/American students, mother tongues link family, heritage, identities. Yet students must often give up their language in school, perpetuating White supremacy. Drawing on Latin American testimonio, six Asian/American educators will share (auto)ethnographies that explore the confluence of identity and language history, with implications for the classroom.
Thank you to my fellow panelists!
