<Title>Christine Mallinson receives NSF grant</Title>

    <strong>Congratulations to Christine Mallinson</strong>, Professor of LLC and Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship, who has just received official notification of a grant titled, "Collaborative Research: Linguistic Production, Perception, and Identity 
    in the Career Mobility of Black Faculty in Linguistics and the Language 
    Sciences." Her co-PI is Anne H. Charity Hudley of Stanford University.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Here is an abstract of the research project:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This mixed-methodological study examines how Black faculty in the language sciences and related areas linguistically navigate their professional experiences. Black faculty are skilled at navigating between varieties of English, with strong perceptual linguistic abilities and linguistic flexibility. At the same time, linguistic inequalities may cause Black faculty to experience the structural realities of racism through the continuous evaluation of their language. These findings will yield insight into how language discrimination plays a role in the systemic underrepresentation of Black scholars in academia and how language plays a role in those processes. The study also examines professional inequalities for Black scholars in the language sciences and related areas to provide precise data that language researchers can use to broaden participation in linguistics departments and programs.<br>
    </div>
    <br><div>The study uses a community-based participatory approach that includes ten junior and mid-career scholars from Minority Serving (MSIs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) as research partners. The study uses interviews, focus groups, and surveys to reach additional 100 Black faculty. The main questions that the study asks are: How and when do Black faculty in linguistics and the language sciences use Black language practices in higher education? How has their linguistic use affected their academic participation and career mobility? The study tests and refines the linguistic model of language subordination by measuring the impacts of both structural and internalized racism on language choice. The study builds on the Co-PI's prior work that examined the linguistic choices of Black undergraduates by analyzing how students variably express racial identity while navigating linguistic expectations in academic settings. This study will take a similar approach, incrementally extending theoretical and empirical models to address these dynamics facing Black faculty, adding much-needed nuance to the model regarding Black scholars while testing the applicability of linguistic models used in education to adult professionals. <br>

<Title>Integrationism and Language Ideologies</Title>
<Tagline>Virtual Free Conference - March 15 - 20, 2021</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The annual Conference of the International Association for the 
    Integrational Study of Language and Communication (IAISLC) will be held 
    at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, <strong>March 15-20, 2021</strong>. <br></p>
    <p><strong>Dr. David Balosa </strong>(LLC '20) will be presenting on Tuesday, March 16th at 8:30 am on the topic, “Foundations in Existential 
    Sociolinguistics.” This will be a major presentation at the conference, 
    which features an international roster of presenters from Brazil, the 
    US, Africa and the UK.</p>
    <p>The main objective of the conference is to contribute to the
     further development of the integrationist perspective through critical 
    dialogue with other approaches to language and communication. A 
    secondary objective is to explore the interdisciplinary applications 
    and implications of integrationism for diverse regions of the world, 
    with or without a history of colonialism. </p>
    <p>A third objective is to explore the extent to which integrationism 
    can capture the multifaceted and contradictory linguistic experiences of
     people on the margins of society whose communicational practices have 
    not so far been a focus for integrationistic thinking. In doing so, we 
    wish to discuss how to best create a partnership with the Global South 
    and with communities that were previously marginalized in the 
    collaborative work of building and extending the relevance and reach of 
    integrationism as a radically critical communicational philosophy.</p>
    <div>The conference is<strong> </strong>transmitted live from Monday 
    till Saturday, March 15-20, at the youtube channel belonging to the 
    Language Policy group at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, 
    Brazil. Please see the <strong><a href="https://iaislc2021.wixsite.com/home/programa%C3%A7%C3%A3o-schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">full programme here</a></strong>. </div>
