Description:
Introduction: "What if I told you that everything you thought you knew about English as a taught subject was based on the language and ideologies of white supremacy? Would you believe me? I don’t know if I would believe me either, as it's so brushed over in our society that we categorize what we learn in English classes as “normal” or “proper” without even taking a second glance. This is why when I started my journey through writing studies courses in my undergraduate studies, I was left in shock. Everything I knew about the English I wrote and spoke in school was based on whiteness being superior to every race and identity, and I was mortified. The English I spoke with friends and family, however, was not “standard English,” in fact, it was far from it. This was the English that was then encouraged to me in college, and soon, I began research on other forms of English that are not included in English classrooms but should be."
