Updating Facts, Persona, Power

In conversation, we negotiate information regarding facts about the world, and facts about ourselves, but also regarding the power relations holding between interlocutors. Linguistic devices are used to convey factual-knowledge or request factual-information, but also to establish who we are and our stance regarding others. In this class we will explore speech acts, dynamic models of context update, and the different ways in which we gain or transfer information about many aspects of the world and of us.

Decolonizing Child-Raising

Bringing together economics and linguistics, this course will critically examine public narratives around parenting and the raising of young children in a global context, drawing from intersectional, decolonial feminist political economy as well as a new line of linguistic inquiry examining the relationship between language and attachment. We will explore the theories from three distinct but overlapping feminist epistemologies: intersectionality, decolonial feminism, and social reproduction feminism.
