Episode Summary:
In this week’s episode, guest expert Chelsea Privette helps us get real about language ideology and our responsibilities to shift the “standard” as language professionals supporting linguistically and culturally diverse communicators.  There was more than one “ah-ha” moment across this Nerdcast as Chelsea helps us consider tangible strategies to shift our thinking and practice around core issues in the field. There’s also a healthy dose of challenging the status-quo, urging us to question many of our long-standing speech-language pathology paradigms.  Come along with us on the journey - you might get a little uncomfortable - but open your mind, fill up your wine glass, and tune in to learn about language ideology in the United States and what it has to do with you as an SLP.
Chelsea is a doctoral candidate at the University of Arizona researching bilingualism and the interactions of Spanish and African American English in preschoolers. You can learn more about Chelsea here.
