*Teaching Linguistic Anthropology in a Time of Rapidly Emerging
Technologies and Shifting Communicative Strategies [* A ROUNDTABLE]*


The Marist Mindlist for the class of 2023 notes of this year’s incoming
freshmen that “[t]heir smart pens may write and record faster than they can
think” and “YouTube has become the video version of Wikipedia.” Today’s
students communicate with gifs and memes as readily as they do with a
computer keyboard and perhaps more readily than they do with a pen and
paper. Smart phones and social media shape their social interactions and
the way they acquire and share knowledge. In this context, linguistic
anthropology has useful lessons to teach students about communication and
the social life of words. But how do we most effectively teach these
lessons to today’s students? How do we incorporate new technologies and
learning modalities into our pedagogy? The emergence of digital
communication technologies has also enabled the growth of online and hybrid
teaching. While all of these changes present challenges for educators they
also offer new opportunities to engage a wider range of students and to
include a greater diversity of voices in our educational materials. With
the goal of fostering a discussion on best practices, this roundtable
brings together faculty members teaching students using online, hybrid and
face-to-face formats at a variety of different types of higher education
institutions.
