Multilingualism in Schools and Society: Episode 2

On this episode: In November 2019, our freshman class on multilingualism in schools and society read the book "The Far Away Brothers" by Lauren Markham. This book sparked many discussions about immigration and our role, as multilingual youth, in projecting and fostering more positive views and constructive ideologies about the linguistic and cultural assets immigrants bring to our society. This episode features a review of the book "Far Away Brothers" connecting it to a personal story of one of the students' in our class, whose mother experienced a similar trajectory than the one lived by the Flores' brothers in Markham's account.
