Valdez, Verónica E.; Delavan, Garrett; Freire, Juan A. – Educational Policy, 2016
We argue the emergence of a shift in U.S. language education policy discourses from an equity/heritage (EH) framework focused on equity for English learners and non-English heritage languages, toward a global human capital (GHC) framework linked to neoliberal considerations of the language skills of individuals and nations. This discursive shift…

Nearly 7 years into the recovery from the Great Recession, two glaring problems remain in the U.S. economy.

The other is the destructive rise in income inequality in recent decades due largely to big corporations and…
