So excited the Special Issue for L&L is out! I am grateful to have worked alongside Laura Teichert as a co-editor. Please check out the brilliant and insightful articles by Galicia Blackman, PhD; Darcy Courtland; Chelsea Thomas Nicki Benson & Meredith Lemon; gunita gupta

The benefits of Indigenous language reclamation are: ✅ Builds social cohesion ✅ Increases cognitive abilities from bilingualism ✅ Opens access to otherwise inaccessible knowledge & information ✅ Heals trauma and trauma behaviour caused as a result of colonialism

Excited to have co-published in this timely issue! Loved working with Chelsea and Meredith Lemon weaving our perspectives on decolonizing language and literacy education and strengthening collaborative relationships as emerging scholars #decolonize #langchat #edchat

I’m proud to share I’ve co-written a unique paper for an academic journal with a longtime collaborator Nicki Benson (who is currently a PhD candidate at UVic): journals.uvic.ca/index.php/winh…
