Gender Articulated forges new connections between language-related field and feminist theory. The essays presented here examine a range of cultures, languages and settings explicitly connecting feminist theory to language research.
Feeling It brings together twelve chapters from researchers in
Chicanx studies, education, feminist studies, linguistics, and
translation studies to offer a cohesive yet broad-ranging
exploration of the issue of affect in the language and learning
experiences of Latinx youth. Drawing on data from an innovative
social justice-oriented university-community partnership based in
young people's social agency and their linguistic and cultural
expertise, the contributors are unified by their focus on a single
year in the history of this partnership; their analytic focus on
race, language, and affect in educational contexts; and their
shared commitment to ethnography, discourse analysis, and
qualitative methods, informed by participatory and social justice
paradigms for research with youth of color. Designed specifically
for use in courses, with theoretical framing by the co-editors and
ethnographic contributions from leading and emergent scholars, this
book is an important and timely resource on affect, race, and
social justice in the United States. Thanks to its
interdisciplinary grounding, Feeling It will be of interest to
future teachers and to researchers and students in applied
linguistics, education, and Latinx studies, as well as related
fields such as anthropology, communication, social psychology, and
sociology.

In White Kids, Mary Bucholtz investigates how white teenagers use
language to display identities based on race and youth culture.
Focusing on three youth styles - preppies, hip hop fans, and nerds
- Bucholtz shows how white youth use a wealth of linguistic
resources, from social labels to slang, from Valley Girl speech to
African American English, to position themselves in the school's
racialized social order. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a
multiracial urban California high school, the book also
demonstrates how European American teenagers talk about race when
discussing interracial friendship and difference, narrating
racialized fear and conflict, and negotiating their own ethnoracial
classification. The first book to use techniques of linguistic
analysis to examine the construction of diverse white identities,
it will be welcomed by researchers and students in linguistics,
anthropology, ethnic studies and education.
This one-stop guide to getting published in anthropology gives
graduate students and young professionals the crucial information
and tools they need to tackle the all-important requirement to
publish. Part I provides step-by-step guidance on key efforts that
budding anthropologists can benefit from, including organizing a
conference panel, creating a poster, presenting a paper, getting an
article published in a journal, and publishing a dissertation as a
monograph. In Part II, scholars in the anthropology subdisciplines
offer first-hand insight into publishing in their area. Part III
chapters cover author contracts, copyright issues, collaboration,
and online publishing opportunities. Helpful appendices list
anthropology journals and publishers specializing in anthropology
books.

Talk is crucial to the way our identities are constructed, altered,
and defended. Feminist scholars in particular have only begun to
investigate how deeply language reflects and shapes who we think we
are. This volume of previously unpublished essays, the first in the
new Language and Gender Studies series, advances that effort by
bringing together leading feminist scholars in the area of language
and gender, including Deborah Tannen, Jennifer Coates, and
Marcyliena Morgan, as well as rising younger scholars. Topics
explored include African-American drag queens, gender and class on
the shopping channel, and talk in the workplace.

Talking College shows that language is fundamental to Black and
African American culture and that linguistic justice is crucial to
advancing racial justice, both on college campuses and throughout
society. Writing from a linguistics-informed, Black-centered
educational framework, the authors draw extensively on Black
college students' lived experiences to present key ideas about
African American English and Black language practices. The text
presents a model of how Black students navigate the linguistic
expectations of college. Grounded in real-world examples of Black
undergraduates attending colleges and universities across the
United States, the model illustrates the linguistic and cultural
balancing acts that arise as Black students work to develop their
full linguistic selves. Talking College provides Black students
with the knowledge they need to make sense of anti-Black linguistic
racism and to make decisions about their linguistic experiences in
college. It also offers key insights to help college faculty and
staff create the liberating and linguistically just educational
community that Black students deserve.Book Features: Weaves
together information and approaches drawn from the authors'
extensive experience working with Black and other students of color
in higher education. Provides an up-to-date discussion of Black
language practices and their role in Black students' college
experiences. Discusses the racial politics of language, including
anti-Black linguistic racism and the struggle for linguistic
justice as part of racial justice. Offers a detailed model of Black
college students' diverse linguistic and racial identities.
Outlines concrete steps toward racial and linguistic justice that
students and faculty can take today. Accessible to students and
faculty without a background in linguistics, while also engaging
and informative for linguistics scholars.
