CO-SPONSORED EVENTS HELD AT THE HUMANITIES CENTER
CREAL presents: Racing Language, Languaging Race Conference
Friday May 04, 2012 | 09:00 AM -05:30 PM | Stanford Humanities Center
Stanford University faculty and students are invited to:
“Racing Language, Languaging Race: New Approaches to the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Language,” the inaugural symposium for Stanford University’s Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Language (CREAL). “Racing Language, Languaging Race” brings together cutting-edge, innovative scholars interested in the complex relationships between race, ethnicity, and language. As the title suggests, we are interested in research that “races language” (views language through the lens of race and ethnic studies) and “languages race” (views race through the lens of language).
When: Thursday and Friday, May 3 & 4, 2012
Where: Levinthal Hall at Stanford Humanities Center
*See detailed schedule below
The three, broad focal areas of the symposium are:
1. Race and Ethnicity in Sociolinguistics
2. Race and Ethnicity in Linguistic Anthropology
3. Race and Ethnicity in Language Education
The goals of this symposium are to:
1. Bring together diverse scholars in an effort to deepen the conversation on language and race/ethnicity by providing an interdisciplinary space for interaction between sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and language and literacy studies.
2. Highlight research that contributes to our understanding of how racial and ethnic identities are constructed through language use and interaction. Of particular interest are papers that examine the intersection of race and ethnicity with class, gender, sexuality, (trans)national and other social identities.
3. Emphasize the linguistic and discursive construction of race/ethnicity while noting its endurance as a social reality both for subjugated racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and other oppressed groups as well as dominant and privileged populations.
