Why So Fragile? Equity, Justice and deconstructing the White Lens. Disrupting the master narrative (part 2) with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither

I traveled to Guilford College in Greensboro, NC, to interview Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither. Dr. Hines-Gaither and I will discuss her upcoming publication “Reimagining World Languages Education: Equity, access, and Social Justice."

Our conversation also involved the discussion of linguicism, language discrimination in Spanish Heritage classrooms, and we also talked about her upcoming workshop addressing White Fragility, assessing ways in which teachers can go about dismantling their implicit bias. This interview is full of information that is sure to make you think, and question some of you assumptions about language, pedagogy, and your interactions with your students. Enjoy.
