Language, Youth and Identity in the 21st Century : Linguistic Practices across Urban Spaces

The language of young people is central in sociolinguistic research, as it is seen to be innovative and a primary source of knowledge about linguistic change and the role of language. This volume brings together a team of leading scholars to explore and compare linguistic practices of young people in multilingual urban spaces, with analyses ranging from grammar to ideology. It includes fascinating examples from cities in Europe, Africa, Canada and the US to demonstrate how young people express their identities through language, for example in hip-hop lyrics and new social media. This is the first book to cover the topic from a globally diverse perspective, and it investigates how linguistic practices across different communities intersect with age, ethnicity, gender and class. In doing so it shows commonalities and differences in how young people experience, act and relate to the contemporary social, cultural and linguistic complexity of the twenty-first century.

Voicing diverse teaching experiences, approaches, and perspectives in higher education

"This book is for organizational stakeholders on emerging trends related to a wide range of nondominant group members' teaching experiences, perspectives, and approaches, offering a broad representation of experiences beyond solely racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, linguistic, and gender labels thereby creating a collectivized communicative space for advancing an understanding for others."This book centralizes teaching in higher education from the standpoints of non-dominant groups members' salient social identities. It extends the conversation about how to engage diverse and complex social identity groups in a system historically designed to be exclusive of their lived experiences. This book's uniqueness is that it elevates the voices of people who have been absent in the academy and considers these experiences across various types of institutions, academic disciplines, and ranks. It documents the lived experiences of non-dominant group members' teaching experiences, perspectives, and approaches and encapsulates a broad representation of experiences beyond solely racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, linguistic, and gendered labels. This collection of personal narratives engages the identity sensemaking processes involved in performing the professor role across a myriad of disciplines within higher education. While other books focus primarily on pedagogical practices, this collection expands on this idea by coupling this with philosophical and social identity enactments within the ivory tower. This book provides discourse on social identity performance through a multidisciplinary lens within the context of teaching in the academy. In this sense, this book presents a project of recentering and highlighting the voices of those often least heard. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, this book will impact not only communication studies and education, but other disciplines where the social identities of historically underrepresented faculty are present. This book is primarily for higher education administrators, staff, faculty, and students. Specifically, this book would be a useful resource for organizational leaders, faculty members in education, communication studies, sociology, advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, this topic benefits college/university staff interested in developing their understanding of the faculty experience from the standpoints of historically underrepresented people in particular social identity groups.The U.S. higher education system is changing demographically. With these complex changes also comes a greater diversity of people entering spaces that they could not previously access. This new dynamic is exciting; however, it also comes with challenges. New approaches must be developed to facilitate the acceptance of this greater diversity. Voicing Diverse Teaching Experiences, Approaches, and Perspectives in Higher Education extends the conversation on how to engage diverse and complex social identity groups in a system historically designed to be exclusive of their lived experiences. This book elevates the voices of people who have been absent in the academy and considers these experiences across various types of institutions, academic disciplines, and ranks. Covering topics such as critical race theory, diverse gender identities, and interpersonal needs, this book is an essential resource for higher education administrators, faculty and students of higher education, organizational leaders, academicians, pre-service teachers, and researchers.
