Linguistic Diversity as Resource

Kim Brian Lovejoy ; Steve Fox ; Scott Weeden

Abstract

Drawing on research in systems theory and their own programmatic efforts to recognize, value, and integrate language differences in first-year composition, the authors argue for a multilevel approach for sustainable and systemic change to occur. Multilevel work functions to identify points of leverage for enacting language rights in institutional settings.
