Programme Structure
Curriculum: We train graduate students to carry out research in a broad range of communities and settings where complex issues of language choice and variation are tied to other social phenomena, such as migration and transnational processes, gender, education, religion, politics, race, and social class. Situating the study of language practice within a framework of political economy also enables students to examine how language partakes in systems of exchange and social inequality.
