<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear colleagues -<br><br>The SLA Conference is right around the
corner, and the Language and Social Justice Committee is preparing an
exciting workshop with several breakout sessions focusing on different
themes.<br><br>One of these workshops will be focused on "teaching the language gap", and in preparation, a group of us (myself, Netta
Avineri, and Sarah Braden) are gathering teaching materials on the
"language gap", a topic many members of the LSJ have currently written
about. If you have taught on this topic, we encourage you to submit your
teaching materials: lectures, lesson plans, discussion questions,
activities, etc. The goal is to create a database of teaching resources
to be shared with other members of LSJ/SLA, to help us bring our social
justice work into our teaching.<br><br>If you are interested in contributing teaching materials: please upload them to the google drive <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B008IaQ7OnyIfmFPT2lrdkhKcmY4TlR0MXV5aWJ1QnhBWFY4LWpnSUZaTi1rbDh3M2JoN2M?usp=sharing" target="_blank">folder linked here</a>
(be sure to label the files clearly with an informative title). Then,
to help us track what kind of materials we have, as well as what level
of sharing you are comfortable with, enter a description of the
materials in the google drive <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1celXA-xXGkHNDtkmD09K0eld4nTPX6d9KQ_xqMzeEbw/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">spreadsheet linked here</a>.<br><br>Please send along your submissions <b>by Wednesday, March 7th</b> (the day before the SLA conference begins), to help us launch our session at the LSJ Workshop.<br><br>(We
are also working to develop a complete bibliography of writing that
presents an anthropolitical linguistic approach to the "language gap."
There is a document in the folder linked above, entitled "Language Gap
Publications" that is a provisional bibliography. We welcome any and all
additions: please put the citation in the document and add any
associated links or PDF files.)<br><br></div><div>Thanks in advance!</div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Lynnette Arnold, PhD<br></div>Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow<br><br></div>Department of Anthropology<br></div><div>Swearer Center for Public Service<br></div>Cogut Center for the Humanities<br></div>Brown University<br></div></div></div></div>
