UF Latinx Studies Lecture Series
Latinx Languages and Identities Beyond Borders
Talk by Dr. Jonathan Rosa
November 7 | 4:00 - 5:30 PM
Heavener 240
How do stereotypes about race and language shape constructions of U.S. Latinx identities? Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in a predominantly Latinx Chicago public high school and its surrounding communities, this presentation approaches Latinidad as a crucial site from which to analyze the creation of racial, linguistic, and national borders, as well as to reimagine worlds beyond these borders.
Jonathan Rosa is Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Education, Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and, by courtesy, Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics, at Stanford University. His research analyzes the interplay between racial marginalization, linguistic stigmatization, and educational inequity. Dr. Rosa is author of the book Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2018Q, Oxford University Press) and co-editor of the volume Language and Social Justice in Practice (2019, Routledge).
The event is free and open to the public!
Co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies and the Sociology and Criminology & Law department.
