Meeting URL: http://www.jyu.fi/socialjustice2020 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

What does social justice have to do with language education? Why do we need to
talk about social justice as language teachers, teacher educators, and
researchers? 

We hope that as part of this conference, we will discuss questions including
but not limited to:

- How can language education be a space where students and teachers learn
together to see and challenge existing patterns of privilege and injustice?
- What is needed to support teachers in promoting linguistic and cultural
equity and equip them to support each other in developing/implementing
respective pedagogies?
- How can research look at and beyond language in education with the goal of
being a catalyst for critical thinking, democracy, equity, and peace? 
- How can language education and research support, respect, and better
understand each other with the goal of making language education more equal
and accessible for all learners?
- How can both education and research turn a critical eye on themselves to
recognize their complicity in perpetuating injustices and learn to do better?
