Subject:

English

Description:

How we speak provides a window into the social nature of human beings. The dialects that we speak are intertwined with the place we live, in addition to our gender, race, and social class. This course explores the interplay of language in society and its correlation with identity, privilege, stereotypes and code-switching, in areas such as school and the workplace. We will discover these aspects of language and society through popular articles and documentary films in the fields of linguistics and education.
