– Presented by Dr. Ester J. De Jong, candidate for Associate Professor, Tenure Track, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) Program
In this presentation, I propose the notion of a multilingual stance in the context of educational equity for multilingual learners. Using examples from my research, I hope to engage in a dialogue around stance as advocacy and as perspective and consider its role in teacher education.
