    Facilitator: Dr. Vijay Ramjattan, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) of the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto

    Accent discrimination in higher education settings, also known as academic accentism, involves the individual and systemic discrimination of people on the basis of their (vocal) accents. Due to the continued internationalization efforts of Canadian (and other Global North) universities which have brought an array of students, faculty, and staff of varying linguistic backgrounds in contact with one another, academic accentism may become especially pronounced in that it can create hierarchies of English accents that carry negative symbolic and material consequences.

    In this interactive workshop, participants will learn about what accentism is, its (non)distinctiveness from other types of oppression such as racism, and how it targets 카지노 게임 컬렉션śinternational카지노 게임 컬렉션ť students and (teaching) staff. Because accentism is perpetuated through individual and institutional listening practices, participants will not only spend time considering how they can change their perceptions of accents, but also think about how university practices and policies must change in order to create listening structures that aurally welcome all.
