I was honored to be invited to give a talk for the OSU Language, Education, and Society group’s community lecture series. I talked about the situation of languages in Mexico, the role of language ideologies in the expansion of English and local efforts to maintain and revitalize indigenous languages.

My review of Nancy Hornberger’s volume on the work of Richard Ruiz has been published in the journal Language and Education, http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09500782.2017.1397688

The Ohio State University hosted this year’s Second Language Research Forum (SLRF 2017). I did two presentations, with my doctoral students from UTSA Lina Martin-Corredor, and a panel on social class and language learning organized by another UTSA colleague, Dr. Becky Huang.

My keynote talk was “The Hidden Curriculum of Work in the Primary English Program in Mexico: Neoliberalism and L2 Pedagogy.” Normally, this would be a radical idea, but the event was called the Forum of Linguistic Resistance after all, so it fit right in! Also a great honor to be on a panel with Ryuko Kubota.
