I have my copies of The Oxford Handbook of Language and Prejudice!

I would like to thank @janesetter.bsky.social and @sdovchin.bsky.social as well as our contributors for rearticulating the relationship between language and prejudice.

Ask your library to order a copy:

Hola! We're in the process of rethinking the Capstone project assessment for our Spanish majors.
