This course explores roles of language in society with respect to equity and diversity by using the notion of language ideologies and language practices for negotiating identities. Students connect recent scholarship on language ideology and practices to their daily experiences.

From this course, I carry with me a critical lens to investigate how language is used to discriminate and try to avoid instances of language discrimination myself. Unfortunately, language discrimination is still very prevalent in modern society, yet often goes overlooked. However, I want to call attention to these instances in my life going forward.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_9  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned above, this course was the first time I completed an assignment on the Norwegian multiethnolect, which would become a major research topic for me throughout my major.
