The Work Continues: Decolonization and Inclusion in Linguistics in a Time of Crisi <i>s</i>

ABSTRACT Charity Hudley, Mallinson, and Bucholtz respond to the Decolonizing Linguistics and Inclusion in Linguistics Book Symposium with commentaries by Felix Banda, Rodrigo Borba, Dominique Branson, Erica Britt, Vincent Pak, and Tsung‐Lun Alan Wan. The response describes how the volumes’ co‐editors and contributors have moved the work from the dialogue that began during the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter Movement to the actions they have been taking since 2016. They also discuss the backlash to the work and related activities that they have faced, particularly in the context of the anti‐diversity policies of the present political and higher education climate in the United States, and they provide action items and next steps for what they see as the fight for the future of linguistics.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Charity Hudley, Mallinson, and Bucholtz respond to the Decolonizing Linguistics and Inclusion in Linguistics Book Symposium with commentaries by Felix Banda, Rodrigo Borba, Dominique Branson, Erica Britt, Vincent Pak, and Tsung‐Lun Alan Wan. The response describes how the volumes’ co‐editors and contributors have moved the work from the dialogue that began during the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter Movement to the actions they have been taking since 2016. They also discuss the backlash to the work and related activities that they have faced, particularly in the context of the anti‐diversity policies of the present political and higher education climate in the United States, and they provide action items and next steps for what they see as the fight for the future of linguistics.
