Discourse and Race || Language and Race||

Language is a primary site where racial identities are constructed, stereotypes are reinforced, and systemic biases are challenged. In this video, we explore Discourse and Race, examining how linguistic patterns and communication styles intersect with racial and ethnic identities. We dive into the critical theories that explain how language is used to maintain racial hierarchies and how it serves as a powerful tool for cultural expression and resistance. Whether you are a student of Linguistics, Sociology, or Ethnic Studies, this lesson provides the analytical tools to understand the complex relationship between talk and race. What we’ll cover in this session: The Social Construction of Race through Language: How discourse creates racial categories. Linguistic Profiling: Understanding the real-world consequences of judging someone based on their accent or dialect. AAVE and Dialectal Prestige: A look at African American Vernacular English and the politics of "standard" vs. "non-standard" speech. Coded Language and Dog Whistles: How racial bias is often hidden behind neutral-sounding terms in media and politics. Counter-Discourse: How marginalized communities use language to reclaim identity and challenge dominant narratives. This lecture is a vital resource for university students in the USA, India, and Pakistan looking for a clear, academic breakdown of race dynamics in modern discourse.
