SUMMARY:Linguistic Diversity and Sustainability: Global Language Jus
 tice Inside the Doughnut
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture Dr. Romaine proposes a doughnut as a model
  for thinking about the relationship between language and in
 equality in a linguistically diverse world and for explainin
 g why language is the missing link in the global debate on s
 ustainability\, equity and poverty. By suggesting how human
  well-being can exist only within limits that are both socia
 l and ecological\, the doughnut highlights the importance of 
 addressing environmental sustainability and social justice t
 ogether. Policies that discriminate against the languages of
  the marginalized poor severely compromise the power of glob
 al development agendas to improve their lives. The cross-cut
 ting effects of linguistic diversity on all aspects of human
  welfare mean that global development agendas cannot reach t
 he ‘bottom billion’ until they speak to them in their ow
 n languages. Changing the normative perspective to make room
  for global language justice inside the doughnut requires te
 asing out and understanding numerous complex linkages betwee
 n language\, poverty\, education\, health\, gender\, and the envi
 ronment that have been rendered invisible by prevailing mode
 ls and discourses of development. She will also identify so
 me specific pathways and policies for sustaining linguistic 
 diversity through explicit recognition of language as both a
  right and means of inclusive sustainable development.
