Linguistic dimensions of the crimmigration regime
This essay uses an examination of communication in Los Angeles Immigration Court (2014-2017) to demonstrate how legal professionals' beliefs about language foster and entrench underexplored linguistic dimensions of the US crimmigration regime. Scholars have shown that within courtroom interactions, legal ideas about language hold back the administration of justice in asylum proceedings, and language interpretation itself can perpetuate the admini…
The Invisible Labor and Ethics of Interpreting
In this review, we call for heightened attention to the labor of interpreters to think more reflexively about our own professional ethics and the paradoxes of global capitalism within which both interpreters and anthropologists work. Like other forms of communicative labor, interpretation is often devalued, unrecognized, and uncompensated-a form of invisible labor. Professional language ideologies, some paradoxically perpetuated by the profession…
Linguistic Lives as Working Lives
In labor studies, working-class life histories have been an important tool in revealing the value of work that is culturally framed as “unskilled,” providing a platform for the disempowered.

I explore lingual life histories of legal …

The maturity and sophistication of this literature is clear, yet alternative approaches can further develop our un…
