Embracing the Perpetual 'But' in Raciolinguistic Justice Work: When Idealism Meets Practice
Howell, Nicole Gonzales; Navickas, Kate; Shapiro, Rachael; Shapiro, Shawna; Watson, Missy
Composition Forum, v44 Sum 2020
This multimedia article shares five short video-recorded stories that highlight specific moments of struggling to practice antiracist and linguistic justice values within different disciplinary situations: giving feedback on student writing, training tutors in the writing center, working with pre-service teachers, debating learning objectives in department committees, and responding to prescriptivist attitudes from colleagues. This praxis-driven work responds to Inoue's 2019 CCCC Chair's Address and his calls to confront white language supremacy by providing vulnerable accounts of the intellectual, interpersonal, emotional and pedagogical labors and challenges involved in fighting for raciolinguistic justice. Teachers and administrators may find the video stories and accompanying reflections useful when developing pedagogical approaches, designing professional development workshops, or reimagining departmental policy-making and curriculum development.
