Transposition as activism
In 2023, the Demystifying Language Project (DLP) held a 3‐day writing workshop that brought together 12 scholars, paired with 11 undergraduates and 15 high schoolers, to collaboratively recompose their own peer‐reviewed articles into a genre legible to those without specialized training in language‐related disciplines. This was done through transposition as activism , or the process by which participants undermine, transcend, or defect from highl…

Converse racialization, as the equal and opposite co-constituting underside of racialization, shifts the directionality of semiotic indexes away from a particular 'race' or 'e…
