SUMMARY:Hearing Beyond the Accent: Recognizing Language Prejudice in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In an academic world where “standard” English is treated as 
 the measure of intelligence and belonging\, we must consider the 
 experiences of our multilingual students. Join us for Hearing Beyond the 
 Accent: Recognizing Language Prejudice in the Classroom\, where we spark 
 honest conversations about how accent\, dialect\, and other aspects of 
 language use impact classroom experiences and opportunities. In this 
 workshop\, we examine the often-unseen biases embedded in educational 
 spaces by drawing on lived stories and linguistic frameworks\, question 
 myths of “correctness” that shape belonging\, and offer suggestions for 
 how we can build more inclusive\, responsive learning 
 environments.\n\nWhether you’re a faculty member\, TA\, or student 
 leader\, this session will challenge assumptions\, offer tools\, and create 
 space to reimagine what linguistic equity can look like in our teaching 
 community.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided.\n\nFacilitators: 
 Chinekwu Nwagwu & Noah Sherazi\, Centre for Writing and Scholarly 
 Communication\n\nLocation: IKBLC\, Level 3\, Peña Room and on Zoom. 
 Registrants receive the Zoom link 1 day prior to the workshop.\n\nDate & 
 Time: October 16\, 2025 – 10:00am -11:30am PT\n\nThe Centre for Writing 
 and Scholarly Communication does not record workshops or share workshop 
 slides.\n\nQuestions about this event? Please contact the Centre for
