Course Description:
This course, cross-listed in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Linguistics, and Japanese, will educate students on the history and value of linguistic diversity as a key strength of our society on local, state, federal, and global levels. Understanding linguistic rights as human rights facing many challenges, hostilities, and violations in our current moment, students will engage in collaborative experiential learning as community advocates and campus culture shifters. Students will work in groups (some general and some focused on one language represented in our campus community) to achieve measurable objectives sharing these overarching goals. Students will identify and select key issues of most interest to them. Potential issues are listed in more detail below under "issues.”
