The focus of this symposium will be “Language and Prejudice”. Prejudice is typically based on socially constructed ideas of identity, such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, etc. Language bias and stereotyping (negative or positive) is a key component in this practice.
We invite educators and researchers to submit abstracts including, but not limited to, the following topics:
Language discrimination/bias
Language diversity and pedagogy
Dialect/Accent Bias
Language and immigration
Cross-cultural aspects and language bias
Intersectionality of identities and language
Inherent bias built into language structures
Language bias in policies and legislation
