SOMOS CMU: The Latine Faculty & Staff Alliance Newsletter

I'm happy to share our first newsletter. As the Co-Leads of this group, Priscilla and I have been discussing how to best highlight some valuable information, capture any notable part our meetings and share upcoming events. 

Consider this a "soft launch" and we hope it only improves as we continue to develop it in the future. We're so excited about the possibilities for this group and this provides an opportunity to capture our progress. Feel free to share it! and as always, if you know of any other Latine, Hispanic or Allies within the CMU community, invite them to join our ERG!

Our Next Meeting:

This month we shift from our normal meeting and visit the Latin American Cultural Center! 

Join us on Saturday, March 11th, 2023 at 11 a.m. for a group visit to the Latin American Cultural Center (LACC)

LACC features a beautiful and highly informative museum display, as well as live programming in an intimate performance venue that highlights the diverse cultures, music, film, and current day issues of Latin America and the Caribbean. We will hear from the Executive Director and CMU Alum, Milagros Pereyra-Rojas, Ph.D.

The Latine Alliance ERG will cover admission for your visit! Family (including children) are welcome to join but admission should be covered independently.

RSVP Today!

Hope to see you there!

SLA Seminar 2/21: (via Zoom) Jennifer Leeman, Beyond standard language and Latinidad: New approaches to ideologies and identities in Spanish heritage language education

Hello all-

In the SLA seminar on Tuesday, 2/21, we will welcome Jennifer Leeman from George Mason University via Zoom for a talk titled "Beyond standard language and Latinidad: New approaches to ideologies and identities in Spanish heritage language education." (Please see below for the abstract)

You will need to register to get the Zoom link, which you can do here.

For students: The talk will last approximately 1 hour, including Q&A, and afterwards Dr. Leeman has agreed to stay on Zoom for an informal chat with graduate students. Please plan to stay for that. We may still end around 4:50 as usual, or it may go a bit later if needed.

Looking forward to seeing you soon and thanks,

Katie

Abstract:

Early research on language ideologies within the context of Spanish heritage language education focused primarily on the standard language ideology, while investigations of identity centered on the role of Spanish in construction of Latinx/a/o authenticity. Such scholarship, like the ideologies and discourses that it examined, continues to be highly significant.  However, numerous, and even contradictory, language ideologies circulate within any given context. So too, identities are inherently multiple and multiscalar. In this talk, I draw from research in linguistic anthropology, Latinx studies and raciolinguistics as I argue for an examination of both a greater variety of language ideologies and identity categories, and I discuss recent research that has begun to expand the research agenda in productive ways. Together with attention to the intersectional and situated nature of identities, a broader and more nuanced exploration of identities and ideologies allows us a deeper understanding of the sociopolitics of SHL education.
