"Our overall goal is to encourage applied linguists and language educators to develop their knowledge, skills, and dispositions as researcher/activists and teacher/activist who work towards transforming classrooms, schools, communities, and the larger societies through critical, anti-oppressive, and transformative pedagogies." |
"BAAL and other applied linguistics communities might benefit from responding to the emergent global calls for equity, diversity, and inclusion in education and research as we move together for a more egalitarian world for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, ability and so on. This SIG will serve as a transformative platform for genuine conversations to take place around critical issues which then will inform and strengthen the statement and positionality BAAL puts forward in the public sphere." |
