Your lesson, should you choose to accept it, is to critically examine how language textbooks perpetuate colonialism. The special agent assigned to help you with this task is Julia Spiegelman, a PhD Candidate at UMass Boston.

2️⃣ Confronting linguistic prescriptivism and the idea of the textbook as the objective truth
3️⃣ Using the textbook to subvert the colonial narrative
