Special issue: Diversity Management for Social Justice (September 2023)
Mazzoli, Maria, Aurélie Joubert, Flávio Eiró, Seonok Lee (editors)

Preliminary call for abstracts / expressions of interest.

This special issue of The Journal of Language and Discrimination puts forward
a multidisciplinary applied framework for managing diversity with the aim of
fostering social justice. We conceive of “social justice” as fairness
manifested in society, thus including equal access to healthcare, education,
employment, housing, and more. We define “management” as the actions
undertaken to influence or intervene on language and cultural practices in
specific environments. Managing diversity is key to implementing a holistic
approach to social justice.

We invite researchers interested in critically engaging with practices of
diversity management, looking at design, implementation or evaluation phases
of such policies. In particular, we encourage potential contributors to engage
with decolonial, feminist and anti-racism literature and activist work in
their analyses of management practices and policy texts. Specific topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):

- Decolonizing policy writing and management practices
- Diversity management and urban policies
- Diversity management and policies in education
- Diversity management in the workplace
- Diversity management, language planning and indigenous minorities

Contemporary urban superdiversity (Duarte & Gogolin 2013; Grin et al. 2022)
challenges traditional approaches to social cohesion and justice, resulting in
a need to modernize long-established policies, also in the light of current
debates on decolonising practices (Tuck & Yang 2012). In superdiverse schools,
the student population brings in dozens of languages from local and migrant
minorities which leads some schools to adopt restrictive policies about
language use in class, in the school area or on the school Ipad. The PISA
reports testify that multilingual pupils receive worse grades compared to
their monolingual peers (Cummins 2018), creating a long-lasting effect of
discrimination across generations. Linguistic discrimination is also rampant
in the housing market, determining segregation patterns in the urban context
(DuBois 2019, Rojas Loa et al. 2022). This discrimination emerges out of the
racialisation of linguistic practices, which is anchored in long-lasting
ethnic and racial hierarchisation (Rosa & Flores 2017). It is therefore
crucial to approach diversity and diversity policies critically.
