Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Romani Grassroots Language Learning
Q: Could you tell us a bit about what language activism is?
Language activism is any form of advocacy that resists linguistic injustice, including racism and inequality linked to language, and in this context it emphasizes solutions for linguistic injustice in language education and autonomous learning as a form of activism.
Islam in English
Q: Could you explain how terms like khutba and hadith are treated in English and why direct translations may fail?
Direct translations often miss genre and ritual nuances; using loanwords with brief explanations or choosing English equivalents that capture genre while preserving religious significance helps English readers grasp the concept.
Islam in English
Q: You note that Islam expressed in English both transforms English and is transformed by English. How do you see this reciprocity influencing future translations of Islamic texts?
Translations should aim to reflect the multilingual and multicultural realities of Muslim communities, using a balance of loanwords, contextual explanations, and creative equivalents rather than simple one-to-one substitutions.
The (Un)imagined Work of Linguistic Inclusion
Q: Could you explain how you applied process mapping to your data and walk us through that method?
She describes process mapping as analyzing the linear policy flow to describe how it is supposed to be enacted, and then comparing it to actual workflow in healthcare settings to identify gaps between policy and practice.
The (Un)imagined Work of Linguistic Inclusion
Q: Could you tell us a bit more about the policies you collected specifically in your data and how your study is a methodology that we would call a policy ethnography?
Brynn explains that she analyzed 13 policies across four governance levels in Australia, focusing on how they address assessing English proficiency and arranging interpreters, then complemented this with interviews of medical receptionists to see how the policies translate into practice.
