school discipline policies can be core tools to perpetuate linguistic injustice. for some children, especially those from marginalised backgrounds, their alleged inability to 'speak properly' gets framed as symptomatic of their alleged inability to 'behave properly'.
what does ‘misbehaviour’ sound like? in new open access work i ask this question in the context of school discipline policies, looking at how ideologies of ‘im/proper language’ and ‘im/proper behaviour’ coalesce and get co-constructed with one another. doi.org/10.1080/09620214.202…

across 563 school behaviour policies, i found that ‘misbehaviour’ is routinely associated with linguistic features such as non-standard grammar, informal language, slang, incomplete sentences, non-academic language, and other allegedly deficient ways of speaking.

deficit ideologies about working-class children and their families lie at the very foundation of how 'oracy' was first theorised. those deficit framings persist in many contemporary oracy initiatives. the new oracy movement must be explicitly anti-deficit. doi.org/10.1080/03054985.202…

Looking forward to revisiting my research on the language of Margaret Atwood at Nottingham Trent in 2 weeks' time!
I'll be talking about the COLD, and about revenge, so you might want to bring a coat🥶

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Poetry often deviates from schematic templates. In this paper, I will discuss...
P. s. You have until 14th Feb to submit an abstract for #PALA2025, hosted by @EnglishAston 💜
