In line with the Year of Languages celebrations, LEP is hosting an event, Taste of Languages, to celebrate Mother Language Day. We'll highlight activities, games, puzzles, and other experiences that create language engagement opportunities for Rutgers undergrads. Feb 21.
“I think of what we’ve been doing as a process that has been slow but also very vitalizing. Moving in the local while mapping oneself in the global. And to my mind that is what translation is.” — Michelle Stephens, ISGRJ Founding Executive Director at today’s closing ceremony.

"The absence of accurate Black representation on screens big and small has everything to do with who is sitting at the table deciding which stories get told. It’s important to have multiple voices behind every production." @RutgersSAS' @ericaadunbar. go.rutgers.edu/7xfoxyj3
A new @RutgersSAS study found that gender bias in linguistics textbooks is as prevalent now as it was 20 years ago, highlighting the need to revisit educational materials to prevent the perpetuation of such biases.

In this @nytimes piece, @RutgersSAS' Sylvia Chan-Malik (@schanmalik) says the aftermath of Sept. 11 "has caused incredible violence and pain and trauma, but it has also created incredible possibility and hope and new forms of community." go.rutgers.edu/3m4927q9
Translanguaging is not a "strategy," though. It's a framework we can use to understand language, bilingualism, & teaching! Of course it's not a panacea (what is?!), but we do not conceptualize it as separate from the "components" Jim lists here.
