You can explore our Fellowship Opportunity in Language and Social Justice, below.
Language and Social Justice at Manchester Metropolitan:
The Department of Languages, Information and Communication comprises Languages, Linguistics and TESOL in addition to Journalism and Information Communication. Our linguistic research academics work closely with colleagues in Sociology, Criminology, Education, and Health and many of our researchers contribute to advancing knowledge in language and social justice in innovative, impactful and expansive ways. Our research explores how different models of social justice intersect with the various imaginings and functions of language within our various societies, examining its role in the creation and maintenance of societal inequality. Working with a range of national and international partners and stakeholders in education, charitable organisations, government, and media, our work seeks to challenge reductionist models of social justice as well as the hierarchy of voice that centres white, middle-class, monolingual and mono-dialectal norms. Our work explores social justice in a range of domains and in relation to various pressing issues such as racism, climate change, media bias, structural inequalities.
