Two plenaries this morning at #ipra2023. First up is Julia Snell on "Presumed (in)abilities and the ‘shape of interaction’ in classrooms". Schnell starts off with an intriguing definition of dialogue as "talk that discusses thinking, makes thinking public and refines thinking"

Snell's work is on dialect prejudice and what is now called #raciolinguistics; here's a relevant paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09500782.2012.760584

(First of a possible thread, rest will be unlisted)

"It is our view that linguists are uniquely positioned to push and problematize how we think and talk about race."
—Alim & Smitherman 2012

"Language is often overlooked as an analytic concern in research on race, yet it is nonetheless central to how race is culturally understood."
– Bucholtz 2011
