Becoming the System
Linguistics and Sociology podcast with Nelson Flores
Language on the Move, Hosted by Brynn Quick
About
Nelson Flores traces the institutionalisation of Spanish–English bilingual education in the United States after the Second World War and through the civil-rights era. Drawing on his book Becoming the System, he examines how racial hierarchies can persist within programmes intended to promote inclusion and how these histories connect with contemporary neoliberal education policy.
