Lecture | Getting Talked into (and out of) Whiteness

Monday, October 23, 2017, 6:30 pm

Free

This presentation examines the linguistic strategies that uphold whiteness as the linchpin of the racial system as well as the counterstrategies that work to undo this system of power. The analysis considers two forms of racializing language: talk about race, or racially referential language, and talk that enacts race, or racially indexical language. Focusing on the uneasy racial positioning of white youth in California both in the 1990s and in the present day, I argue that a political critique of the language of whiteness must be at the center of any effort to challenge white supremacy.

Featured Speaker: Mary Bucholtz, Professor, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara.
