Abstract:

Drawing on--but also extending--the theories and methods of applied
linguistics, this book demonstrates how scholars of language might work
together and with non-language specialists to address pressing concerns and
issues of our time. Chapters explore efforts to recognize the legitimacy of
stigmatized language varieties in public and institutional domains,
museum-based science education for linguistically diverse children, how corpus
analysis might illuminate the tension between the language choices and
commitments of certain leaders, the embodied and artistic forms of
meaning-making that challenge norms of Whiteness, and the transformative power
of translanguaging in community-based theater.

In addition, the volume demonstrates ways to enhance equity in healthcare
delivery for immigrant families, examines the experiences of cultural health
navigators working with refugee-background families, and highlights the value
of raising public awareness of language issues related to social justice.
These accounts show that applied linguists stand ready to interface with other
scholars, other institutions, and the public to make socially-engaged and
impactful contributions to the study of language, society, education, and
access. Collectively, the authors respond to an important gap in the field and
take a significant step towards a more socially-just, accessible, and
inclusive approach to applied linguistics.
