Language and Social Justice provides readers with the knowledge and analytical skills required to explore why and how social inequalities and injustices are enacted through language, and how they may be challenged.

The expert authors introduce readers to theories, concepts, methods and applications which enable them to become ‘activist applied linguists’ in the field of language and social justice. Each chapter contains up-to-date information, case studies, study questions and activities, suggestions for activism, and recommended readings relating to a range of topics within the field of language and social justice research.

This innovative and accessible textbook is essential reading for students and scholars engaged in language and social justice research across a range of contexts.
