CSRE 157: Language, Race, and Ethnicity (LINGUIST 154)

Course Description

This course explores the co-articulation of language, race, and ethnicity with a particular emphasis on race relations in US contexts. We will examine the varieties of English spoken by minoritized racial/ethnic groups in conjunction with theories from sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and adjacent social sciences to problematize common notions surrounding race and language. No prior knowledge of linguistics is required for this course.
