Linguistic Discrimination in US Higher Education

<p>This volume examines different forms of language and dialect discrimination on U.S. college campuses where relevant protections in K-12 schools and the workplace are absent. Real-world case studies at intersections with class race gender and ability explore pedagogical and social manifestations and long-term impacts of this prejudice between and among students faculty and administrators. With chapters by experts including Walt Wolfram and Christina Higgins this book will be useful for students in courses in language & power and language variety among others; researchers in sociolinguistics education identity studies and justice & equity studies; and diversity officers looking to understand and combat this bias.</p>
