{"product_id":"diverse-by-design","title":"Diverse by Design","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiversity, despite what we say, disturbs   us. In the U.S., we debate linguistic rights, the need for an official   language, and educational policies for language minority students. On the one   hand, we believe in the rights of individuals, including (at least in the   academy) the right to one’s own language. On the other hand, we sponsor a   single common language, monolingual and standard, for full participation and   communication in both the academy and in U.S. society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDiverse by Design,\u003c\/i\u003e Christopher Schroeder reports on an institutional case study conducted at an officially designated Hispanic-Serving Institution. He gives particular attention to a cohort of Latino students in a special admissions program, to document their experience of a program designed to help students surmount the “obstacle” that ethnolinguistic diversity is perceived to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, Schroeder argues for reframing multilingualism and multiculturalism, not as obstacles, but as intellectual resources to exploit. While diversity might disturb us, we can overcome its challenges by a more expansive sense of social identity. In an increasingly globalized society, literacy ideologies are ever more critical to educational equity, and to human lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christopher Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221791887652,"sku":"9780874218060","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_6258f7df-5fe9-44b9-912d-83aad39102b5.jpg?v=1780506035","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/diverse-by-design","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
