This looks like a very helpful set of resources.

Abstract for the talk: Linguistic dissociation is a process through which people come to distance themselves from particular linguistic resources in their repertoire because those resources have become entangled with significant negative interpersonal experiences. Classrooms are powerful spaces when it comes to shaping how we feel about our languages, so what do educators need to know about this phenomenon? In this talk, Dr. Ashley R. Moore will explain what linguistic dissociation is and what we know about how it is experienced. He will finish by sharing the implications of linguistic dissociation for teaching and learning, focusing on how it complexifies various plurilingual pedagogies (Lau & Van Viegen, 2020), including translanguaging pedagogy.

I'm giving a talk on linguistic dissociation aimed at educators this Thursday, 3:30-4:30 ET. Open to everyone and hybrid. You can register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Rethinking translanguaging: (Trans)bordering, spatiality, and academic discourse socialization in a graduate TESOL classroom Abstract. This study examines how an applied linguistics graduate course instructor socializes students into academic concepts and norms in a graduate TESO

I’m delighted to share that my new article is out in Applied Linguistics! In this piece, I introduce the idea of (trans)bordering — a semiotic process in which we create and negotiate borders that define acceptable practices and norms.

Burnout happens not because workers failed to practice enough self-care.

Burnout happens because the working conditions that cause burnout were never addressed.

I am begging folks to stop citing Braun & Clarke (2006) as their only ref for #ThematicAnalysis. It's 20 years old. They and others have pushed the methodological sophistication of TA much further. 🚩

Here's a piece of work by my colleague who delivered a stellar presentation at #AAAL2025. Antiracist engagement in a Japanese secondary classroom.

#AAAL2025 presentation done! Many thanks to all my friends and like-minded colleagues who see-saw some value in my work and came to support me 😊 If you are interested in this, let me know! Very happy to do a private presentation!

Looking forward to sharing my newest work at #AAAL2025 on the sociorelationality of study-abroad socialization. Fresh new out of my dissertation project 🙂

“Rosa and @nelsonlflores.bsky.social (2017) note that the intertwined nature of language and race creates a linguistic hierarchy in which the languages and linguistic repertoires of non-White speakers are considered deficient. The imposition of this kind of linguistic hierarchy can only be divisive

Why AI software ‘softening’ accents is problematic While AI now allows us to erase accents, is this really a good idea? Besides, who doesn’t have an accent?

Why should humanities education persist in an AI age? Self-development, to start Through self-development, or ‘Bildung’ in German thought, salon culture sought to resist absolutism and foster democratic discourse. This shaped the modern Western university.
