Reimagining Dialogue on Identity, Language and Power

Ching-Ching Lin’s career spans more than 20 years of experience as a high school social studies and ESL teacher, college ESL professor, and TESOL and Bilingual Education instructor. She is currently a teacher educator and curriculum developer. She is the co-editor and a contributing author of the following two edited volumes: Inclusion, Diversity, and Intercultural Dialogue in Young People's Philosophical Inquiry (Brill Publishers, 2018) and Internationalization in Action: Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion in Globalized Classrooms (Peter Lang Publishing, 2020). Clara Vaz Bauler is an Associate Professor of TESOL/Bilingual Education at Adelphi University, NY, USA. She is a sociolinguist and critical discourse analyst who is interested in unveiling unjust and often hidden educational practices that propagate language shaming and discrimination. She investigates language used in news media, social media and classrooms, inquiring on the contexts, purposes and consequences of using certain terms and enacting specific policing practices associated with languaging and migration flows.
