Collaborators
The Linguistic Justice Collaborative is made up of collaborators who advocate for language and linguistic justice in their various roles as educators, researchers, and community members. Want to collaborate? Reach out!
The Circle
The Linguistic Justice Collaborative does not follow a traditional hierarchical leadership structure. Instead, as a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization, we match roles to individuals’ strengths, interests, and capacities. All collaborators are empowered to make on-the-ground, in-the-moment decisions as representatives of the LJC.
