Given recent conversations in the field and ACTR’s statement concerning systemic racism and police brutality in the United States, the Russian Language Journal is dedicating a special issue to the topic of diversity, equity, access and inclusion. We invite submissions that address any aspect of DEAI in language study, instruction, and/or curriculum, including, but not limited to:
• The implementation of critical pedagogies in K-16 language classrooms
• Developing community engagement initiatives in the language classroom that promote equity and social justice
• Redesigning curricula and language learning materials to promote learner identity and self-representation
• Language ideology and public policy at the local and national level
• Analysis of public discourse related to issues of race, gender, LGTBQ+, and marginalized ethnic communities in Russian-speaking countries
• Methods of teaching, training, and mentoring graduate students and language instructors in addressing inequity and promoting inclusivity
• Study abroad programing for students from underrepresented populations
