Call for Book Chapters:

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 on the same topic: 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.

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. Linguistic areas can be in phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition, SLA, educational linguistics, testing, student feedback, hiring, promotion, supervising, etc.

In addition, successes of implemented programmatic changes or department/college/university-wide initiatives to combat linguistic discrimination are also of interest.
