LINGUISTIC JUSTICE

Course Description

W&L CS 160LJ, Linguistic Justice, focuses on how Writing Studies as a discipline approaches writing in different rhetorical situations that deal specifically with linguistic choices and expectations. Because this class will be taught at UCSB, which has both HSI and AAPI designations, we will investigate linguistic injustices in that context in US classrooms and communities. Issues of accessibility, dialect prejudices, and others will also be addressed. Students can expect to read a mixture of public and academic scholarship on these topics and to engage in written genres that address both audiences.
