Racialized Trajectories to Catalan Higher Education: Language, Anti-Racism and the 'Politics of Listening'
Khan, Kamran; Gallego-Balsà, LíDIA
Applied Linguistics, v42 n6 p1083-1096 Dec 2021
This paper examines two forms of listening in relation to racism and the minority language context in Catalonia. The research is based on a collaboration between two academics and RC (Racialised Catalans) which started with initial interviews on their educational experiences and trajectories in Catalonia. From there, a collaboration between the academics and a inter-cultural, anti-racism group (Junts a pseudonym) emerged. First, we analyse the role of the white listening subject in which RC are discriminated against for a perceived lack of Catalan. Second, we describe how the group made others listen through their work. Thus, listening results in a form of 'undecideability' which requires wider society for the possibilities of racial equality.
