WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT
TITLE: Language, Anti-Racism, and Literacy
DATE: September 9, 2025
TIME: 4:00–4:30 p.m. EDT
DETAILS:
This session will center a critical conversation on the intersections of language, anti-racism, and literacy within multilingual contexts. Facilitators and our special guest will explore how research on linguistic justice challenges traditional views of “standard” English and raises important questions for educators and policymakers about equity in literacy education. Participants will gain insight into current scholarship, hear reflections on the implications for classroom practice and policy, and consider what it means to cultivate literacy learning environments that affirm and sustain students’ diverse linguistic identities.
