Talking about 'Race' in the English Classroom
Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, v27 n4 p383-392 2020
This essay questions the place that conversations about 'race' hold in the English classroom. I hope to reveal the problems that may come with easily dismissing tense and racially charged dialogues about language and identity. I also explore the way classroom talk opens up an opportunity for students to create and contest different meanings and why such conversations are an essential part of teaching and learning in English.
