About the event

Secrets of the Past: Do I Have an Accent? - Dispelling Myths About Language

This talk will cover key concepts from linguistics and critical applied linguistics as a means to dispel myths about language that impact our everyday lives. This talk aims to teach an understanding of linguistic diversity, sociopolitical aspects of language use that lead to linguistic discrimination, how linguistic discrimination works and how it reflects our beliefs about language, also known as language ideologies, and how to combat misinformation about language to create more equitable outcomes in varied contexts, particularly for minoritized language users.
