“If Black Language Ain’t Artful, Then Tell Me, What Is?” By Dr. April

Dr. April Baker-Bell, author of "Linguistic Justice: Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy," will tell a story about the history, art and resiliency of Black Language — its relationship to enslavement, its impact on the nation and globe, and its stormy relationship with the education system. She will then discuss why she is arguing for Black Linguistic Justice and what it looks like in classrooms and communities. This event will be closed captioned in English.

_______

 The event is hosted by the UCF College of Arts and Humanities and features the faculty and students from the School of Performing Arts and the School of Visual Arts and Design, as well as work from the humanities departments and other units from around the university. UCF Celebrates the Arts 2021 will feature both in-person and virtual events to ensure everyone can celebrate UCF artists in whatever setting they are most comfortable.
