About
This is a language-centered project that investigates linguistic diversity and linguistic discrimination in the United States – a topic which still remains largely invisible in public discourse.
Mission & Vision
What’s perceived to be in a voice? In a word, in a language? How might that perception shape behavior and belief? Through mindful storytelling, we explore the fascinating stories of linguistic diversity and discrimination in the U.S.
