On this episode of The Oxford Comment, we chatted with SJ Miller, Deputy Director of Educational Equity Supports and Services at the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools; and David E. Kirkland, author of “Black Masculine Language” from The Oxford Handbook of African American Language, and Executive Director of the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools; to discuss the developments we’re seeing in today’s English lexicon and how we can positively incorporate linguistic change instead of dismissing it.
