This first section will be used as a backdrop for challenging the hegemonic perspectives from which Creole languages have been portrayed in the past (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lingphil.mit.edu\/papers\/degraff\/degraff-lang-79-02.pdf\">DeGraff, 2003<\/a>). The second section will discuss some of the strides that have been made in Cabo Verde in using Kriolu in primary and secondary schools and in higher education. The third section will illustrate the full extent of language variation in Cabo Verdean Creole (based on field work data), as such variation bears on how to represent the language in education. The fourth section will discuss the rise of Kriolu\u0092s visibility and legitimacy on social media. The fifth section will discuss how the <em>Cabo Center for Applied Research<\/em> is contributing to the inclusion of Kriolu in the Boston Public Schools, adding to the efforts that community members have invested in the past.\u00a0 We will conclude with a discussion of current challenges and next steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are invited to participate in our discussion this week, Tuesday, November 23, 2-5pm EST, on \u0093Linguistics and Social Justice: Language, Education &amp; Human Rights\u0094 \u00a0(MIT Linguistics, Graduate Seminar, 24.S96). \u00a0Please contact Michel &lt;degraff@mit.edu&gt; for information about Zoom link and readings. \u00a0NB: We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment in our seminar.
