“Linguistic Diversity, Threats to Diversity, and Resistance”

Taught by assistant professor of linguistics Brook Lillehaugen, this course addresses issues of linguistic diversity, experiences of difference, and power structures as they relate to the perception and use of language, and struggles for justice in linguistic context.
