<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The HLP project is a critical historiography of an Ontario policy supporting heritage language education. The policy was first implemented
in 1977. It represents one of the first major language education initiatives in the wake of federal policy-making regarding official bilingualism and multiculturalism in 1969 and 1971, respectively. However, various stipulations in the HLP, which remain in
place to this day, have relegated heritage language education to the margins of school life. A series of four bills was proposed in the provincial legislature between 1978 and 1993 to strengthen heritage language education; each of them failed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">This study creates a genealogy of this policy to better understand how language education policy regulates inequality in multilingual contexts
such as Ontario. The study asks: What were the discursive and material conditions in 1970s Ontario in which “heritage languages” emerged as a social problem, and which produced the HLP as a policy solution? How did those same conditions define which individuals
and communities would be included as legitimate policy actors and which would not? What were the conditions that regulated interactions among policy actors? How did the HLP affect extant inequalities among official, minority, Indigenous, immigrant, and signed
languages in Ontario?</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Data collection to date has focused on Ministry of Education archival records, as well as on Ontario Teachers’ Federation papers. Also, we
have collected historical media reports on the policy from two major Anglophone newspapers. We will expand data collection to include archival records from Toronto-area school boards, additional teachers’ unions, individual politicians involved with the HLP,
and community and activist groups who lobbied both for and against the policy. We will also create oral histories with individuals from each of these policy-related communities, and expand collection of historical media reports to include community newspapers
in other languages.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
