Drawing on--but also extending--the theories and methods of applied
linguistics, this book demonstrates how scholars of language might
work together and with non-language specialists to address pressing
concerns and issues of our time. Chapters explore efforts to
recognize the legitimacy of stigmatized language varieties in
public and institutional domains, museum-based science education
for linguistically diverse children, how corpus analysis might
illuminate the tension between the language choices and commitments
of certain leaders, the embodied and artistic forms of
meaning-making that challenge norms of Whiteness, and the
transformative power of translanguaging in community-based theater.
In addition, the volume demonstrates ways to enhance equity in
healthcare delivery for immigrant families, examines the
experiences of cultural health navigators working with
refugee-background families, and highlights the value of raising
public awareness of language issues related to social justice.
These accounts show that applied linguists stand ready to interface
with other scholars, other institutions, and the public to make
socially-engaged and impactful contributions to the study of
language, society, education, and access. Collectively, the authors
respond to an important gap in the field and take a significant
step towards a more socially-just, accessible, and inclusive
approach to applied linguistics.
