CFP for collection on Teaching Toward Linguistic Justice
Missy Watson
Dear esteemed colleagues,
Please consider submitting a proposal for an upcoming edited collection titled, Practical Examples of Teaching Toward Linguistic Justice: Applying Antiracist, Critical Language, Decolonial, L2, and Translingual Pedagogies to the Writing Classroom.
Chapters, which will be short and similarly structured, will provide descriptions of real samples of activities, assignments, assessment systems, course designs, or other concrete examples.
Serving as a practical resource for how to apply linguistically just language pedagogies in all writing classrooms (in person or online, WAC, FYW, L2, basic writing, advanced writing courses, etc.), this book aims to benefit a broad range of writing instructors, but particularly overworked, marginalized, underprivileged, and contingent faculty.
Click here or see the attached PDF to review the full CFP, which details the proposal guidelines and projected timeline.
Proposals are due on March 15, 2022
Submit your proposal (and any questions) to teachforling...@gmail.com
Please share widely!

Dear Colleagues,
We write to recall our CFP for the collection we had titled How to Teach Writing for Linguistic Justice: Practical Examples from Antiracist, Critical Language, Decolonial, L2, and Translingual Approaches.
We have received important feedback on ways in which particular choices we made in the CFP reflect the ongoing history of race and racism in higher education by erasing or co-opting the work of scholars of color.
For this reason, we are pausing this book project and engaging in active reflection on the histories of race and racism in knowledge-making in higher education and our participation therein. Should we move forward with a version of this project in the future, it will be transformed by a deeper awareness of how we honor and amplify the work of the many Black scholars who have shaped the foundations of antiracist language work.
We are deeply sorry for the harm we have caused.
Humbly submitted,
Rachael Shapiro, Zhaozhe Wang, and Missy Watson
