“More than lo visible ”: Black world language teachers' use of identity to contest culturelessness
The limited presence of Black world language teachers (BWLTs) has been attributed to a lack of interest, ability, or access. In navigating societal forces that perpetuate anti‐Black stereotypes, BWLTs challenge these and similar narratives (e.g., the belief that they cannot be both Black and command the target language). We qualitatively analyze interviews with nine BWLTs, exploring how their identities and teaching practices mutually inform one …
Black children are gifted at learning languages – that’s why I could do TBLT: Inclusive Blackness as a pathway for TBLT innovation
This paper presents a case study of a Black Spanish-language teacher and her 4th-grade students using Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) six years after a teacher-training program. We describe the program and the teacher’s understanding of tasks and TBLT. Using a bottom-up approach, we then explore the teacher and students’ implementation of TBLT six years later in a socioeconomically resilient 4th-grade classroom in Miami, Florida, where 95 % o…

Beyond the Front Yard: The Dehumanizing Message of Accent-Altering Technology
Over the past decade, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, as it relates to the speech and voice recognition industry, has established itself as a multibillion-dollar global market, but at whose expense? In this forum article, we amplify the current critiques of the architectures of large language models being used increasingly in daily life. Our commentary exposes emerging AI accent modification technology and services as agents of racial …
To go big, we have to go home: Building foundations for the future of community-engaged and public-facing research in linguistics
In this article, we discuss various public-facing scholarly activities we have engaged in and how these initiatives have reached large audiences to widely spread messages about language and linguistic equity and inclusion. We provide guidance for how to launch, coordinate, and carry out public outreach initiatives and community-engaged research, how to navigate potential pitfalls and position these efforts for success, and how to demonstrate the …

Language Across the Disciplines
This article reviews the study of language across disciplines. We focus on epistemological and methodological frameworks in the study of language broadly within linguistics departments and across disciplinary areas that concentrates on the organizational structure across departments, degree programs, organizations, and professions. We then emphasize emerging transdisciplinary trends in the study of language and communication. We highlight pressin…
Black Womanhood: Raciolinguistic Intersections of Gender, Sexuality & Social Status in the Aftermaths of Colonization
In this essay, we highlight the colonial invention of oppositional and binary categories as a dominant form of social sorting and meaning-making in our society. We understand language as a tool for the construction, maintenance, and analysis of these categories. Through language, these categorizations often render those who sit at the margins illegible. We center the Black woman as the prototypical “other,” her condition being interpreted neither…

Beyond Position Statements on Race: Fostering an Ethos of Antiracist Scholarship in Linguistic Research (Response to Charity Hudley et al.)
Rejoining the arguments presented in Charity Hudley, Mallinson, and Bucholtz's (2020) target article responding to the Linguistic Society of America's Statement on Race, we affirm calls for increased participation from diverse scholars and underscore the need for attention to racial perspectives in linguistic research. Through discussions of current linguistic debates, our research trajectories, and the race-based perspectives in our work, we adv…
New Blacks: Language, DNA, and the Construction of the African American/Dominican Boundary of Difference
Given the current political climate in the U.S.—the civil unrest regarding the recognition of the Black Lives Matter movement, the calls to abolish prisons and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, and the workers’ rights movements—projects investigating moments of inter-ethnic solidarity and conflict remain essential. Because inter-ethnic conflict and solidarity in communities of color have become more visible as waves of mig…
