BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:ics.py - http://git.io/lLljaA BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:This symposium will bring together four scholars to present on and discuss the role that language plays in the production and reproduction of everyday racism. A tribute to Jane H. Hill\, this symposium also honors the legacies of Audrey Smedley and bell hooks\, both of whom inspired and shaped Hill’s scholarship on the language of racism. The symposium speakers are Norma Mendoza-Denton (UCLA Anthropology\, author of Homegirls: Language and Cultural Practice Among Latina Youth Gangs)\, Elaine Chun (University of South Carolina English Language and Literature\, contributor to Raciolinguistics: How Language Shapes Our Ideas About Race)\, John Baugh (Washington University Arts and Sciences\, author of Linguistics in Pursuit of Justice)\, and Jacqueline Messing (University of Maryland Anthropology\, contributor to Indigenous Language Revitalization in the Americas). Jane H. Hill was a renowned linguist and four-field anthropologist whose interdisciplinary work contributed to various fields and areas of scholarship. Regarding her work\, Hill stated\, "I attempt a precarious balancing act among diverse commitments: to the detailed documentation of languages and cultures and specialized expertise in technical tools such as comparative linguistic analysis\, to the understanding of the scope and diversity of human history that is the glory of anthropology\, and to using what I learn to advance social justice and mutual respect among human beings." This symposium honors Hill's critical contribution to the still-emerging field of raciolinguistics and provides an opportunity for scholars to address racial injustices perpetrated in everyday language use and language policy. Livestream participation open to the CC community.
