The editors of Linguistic Discrimination in U.S. Higher Education: Power, Prejudice, Impacts, and Remedies (Clements and Petray, 2021, Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group) invite submissions for an international volume, Linguistic Discrimination in International Higher Education.

Submission may be in the form of a chapter draft (if you already have a full draft), an abstract, or a conference presentation at this stage. Submit through Google forms.

We are interested in research at various levels of the university experience, including discrimination of languages, dialects, and accents, specifically through the lenses of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, region (rural versus urban), gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, and even age as all of these intersect in various locales with differing outcomes for speakers’ opportunities within various relationships on university campuses involving students, staff, instructors, and administrators. In addition, successes of implemented programmatic changes or department/college/university-wide initiatives to combat linguistic discrimination are also of interest.

From the proposal: “While the prior publication Linguistic Discrimination in U.S. Higher Education focused solely on U.S. university and college environments, this text addresses key issues on campuses and in undergraduate as well as graduate professional schools around the globe. Specifically, this collection will investigate linguistic discrimination and its connections to identity factors, such as gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, and ability status from various contexts, cultures, and communities around the world, exploring how communication for these groups is the proxy target of bias and how this mistreatment impacts educational experiences and affordances.”
