In this new season of Chasing Encounters, we have Dr. Jonathan Rosa from Stanford University who inspired us with his vast knowledge at the intersections of race and language. From his connections to Canada and Chicago, Dr. Rosa enlightens us with ideas of how the way race plays into perceptions of domesticity and foreignness and how his experiences have shaped his interest in broader sociopolitical questions about language, identity, history and colonialism. We also discussed what a theory of raciolinguistic ideologies means internationally and how different contexts can be used to interrogate the legacy of colonial relations as we imagine of the possible sociopolitical futures.
