Today, more than ever, we must use the power of words to overcome oppression. We also need to stop fearing the other, valuing difference rather than embracing only those who look like us. This blog offers a forum to share ideas on using language to promote a just society.

Winter Teaching Assignment: The Language of Oppresion
I am pleased to announce that in the Winter, 2012 semester I will be teaching a special topics class titled "The Language of Oppression" in the Communication, Media and Theatre Arts at Eastern Michigan University. This combined graduate/undergraduate class will focus on the language strategies used in promoting such ism's as racism, sexism, ageism, and others. A major part of the course will look at the strategies to move from the language of oppression to the language of liberation.
