Where are the Black Students in Language Education? Critical Race Pedagogy for Social Justice in Language Education
Professor Uju Anya, Carnegie Mellon University
To address racial inequity and how the identities, experiences, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in language education,
we must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research, school programs, teacher training, curriculum, and instructional practices.
This presentation explores how we can center Black students in language education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism, equity-mindedness, and greater inclusivity and belonging for diverse types of marginalized populations.
