* historical studies of language and language attitudes, historical 
incidents and their outcomes/descendents

* professional, corporate, or other industry-related language attitudes
* attitudes towards dialect, code-switching 
* language attitudes and education, including pedagogical approaches
* attitudes expressed in gendered communication or other 
sociolinguistic topics
* attitudes about second language acquisition
* language attitudes mirrored or explored in literature, pop culture, 
television, etc.
* attitudes about the effect of technology on language
* AND? Tell me about your own passion with regard to language 
attitudes!

Final essays should be between 6500 and 8000 words, including 
citations.
