Press blurb: Everyone speaks with an accent, but what is an accent? *Thinking
with an Accent* introduces accent as a powerfully coded yet underexplored
mode of perception that includes looking, listening, acting, reading, and
thinking. This volume convenes scholars of media, literature, education,
law, language, and sound to theorize accent as an object of inquiry, an
interdisciplinary method, and an embodied practice. Accent does more than
just denote identity: from algorithmic bias and corporate pedagogy to
migratory poetics and the politics of comparison, accent mediates global
economies of discrimination and desire. Accents happen between bodies and
media. They negotiate power and invite attunement. These essays invite the
reader to think with an accent—to practice a dialogical and multimodal
inquiry that can yield transformative modalities of knowledge, action, and
care.
