Distinguished Professor

sandra_kouritzin

Dr. Sandra (Sandie) Kouritzin is Distinguished Professor of Second Language Education. Her work addresses the right to Indigenous linguistic and cultural emancipation, and opposes language loss, language shift, and minority language endangerment, as well as oppressive practices stemming from academic research and the demands of higher education. Particularly informed by critical discourse analysis and positioning theory, her work aims to reveal and undo the broad spectrum of overt and covert operations undermining our empirical, conceptual, theoretical and pedagogical work.
