This is a screenshot of the front cover of the book. The top half contains the title, "Workable Accents: How International Teaching Assistants Vocally Fashion and Contest Academic Labor," and my full name, Vijay A. Ramjattan. The bottom half contains a multi-coloured speech bubble with multiracial hands reaching out to it from four corners.

My very first book is available for pre-order!

Workable Accents explores how international teaching assistants conceptualize accent in relation to academic labor.
