Summary
Gail Prasad, daughter of an inter-racial, -cultural, -linguistic, and -religious couple, grew up with only one language, "the language of opportunity.” At an early age, she experienced systemic racism and exclusion, while navigating multilingual interactions as an act of resistance. Creativity and criticality are at the heart of her research investigating the coercive power relations among majoritarian and minoritized language users. She sees school as "a protected space for imagining and building more equitable societies.”
