This year the Department of Applied Linguistics of Umass Boston had at least 17 presentations at AAAL 2023 in Portland! Professors and doctoral students participated in individual presentations, colloquia, round tables, and posters. The topics presented diverse and critical stance on language policy, teacher education, research methods, bilingual education, heritage languages, multilingualism, critical discourse analysis, pedagogy, and literacy. The Umass Boston APLING presentations invited their audience to have conversations about gender justice in applied linguistics, decolonization, critical race and language studies, immigrant and refugee rights, and more.
