Meeting Description:

The Multi-Campus Graduate Student Working group “Linguistic Justice in
Teaching Spanish: Bringing Spanish language to the forefront”, in
collaboration with the Spanish California Lab at the University of California
Riverside and the University of California Humanities Research Institute,
invites workshop proposal submissions from individual practitioners or teams
for the 2020/21 academic year.

The goal of this workshop series is to foster a virtual community where we can
explore new educational techniques, methodologies, and pedagogical approaches
for the teaching of Spanish. Such topics include but are not limited to the
following: bilingual education; language justice; equity, diversity, and
inclusion; Critical Race Theory; the teaching of Spanish as a heritage
language, a second language, or a foreign language; the teaching of Spanish to
HS; Digital Humanities applied to pedagogy; among others. We plan to create a
space where we can speak about experiences regarding racial injustices and
form a plan of action to challenge racism within the teaching of the Spanish
language across all grade levels. Many of us are considering ways to change
and improve our stance in this world. From our perspective as academic
practitioners and instructors of the Spanish language in institutions of
education, we want to open a conversation about the impact, the methods, and
the objectives of our service

Through our awareness of the use and teaching of language, we can better
understand why and where these ideologies of injustices surge and how we can
challenge them. As we attempt to dismantle social inequalities from a language
perspective, we must first see how racism is implicitly embedded in our
everyday practices as students, researchers, and instructors (and how we’ve
taken these for granted for so long). Essential to this awareness is having a
space to converse about what we can do to adopt a more just curriculum. It is
time for our ways of learning, conducting research, and teaching to change.
