ANT 295-01 - Special Topic: Language and Social Justice

4 credits (Spring)
Is language sexist? How does language mediate the perpetration of police violence towards people of color? What languages should we teach in schools? This course allows students to examine issues of social justice through the lens of language. It combines linguistic approaches to race and gender with critical perspectives on language endangerment, police violence, and education in order to examine the implicit linguistic foundations upon which questions of social justice rest. 

Prerequisite: ANT 104 , ANT 260 , ANT 265 , or LIN 114 .    
Instructor: Sweet
