Appropriation or Appreciation? You Be the Judge

In this workshop we'll delve deep into the awkward waters of linguistic appropriation and appreciation.

With real classroom examples, we'll empower participants to advocate for linguistic justice in da syllabus (in the classroom and for our students), but also on da streets in our lived experiences outside the classroom.

Knowing the difference between language appropriation and appreciation can help our students navigate higher education with their heads held high.
