Join us this week for an engaging conversation with Dr. Judith Pine who is associated with the WWU Linguistics department as we discuss linguistics &amp; social justice and how language usage and linguistics is important when thinking of social justice issues, both in education and everyday life. In this episode we also talk about the 30 million word gap and scholarly discourse around that topic (and why it is a problematic ideology). A special thanks to Dr. Judith Pine for joining us for this episode!
