In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

    LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS ON TRIAL: HEARING RACHEL JEANTEL (AND OTHER VERNACULAR SPEAKERS) IN THE COURTROOM AND BEYOND John R. Rickford Sharese King Stanford University Stanford University Rachel Jeantel was the leading prosecution witness when George Zimmerman was tried for killing Trayvon Martin, but she spoke in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and her crucial testimony was dismissed as incomprehensible and not credible. The disregard for her speech in court and the media is familiar to vernacular speakers and puts Linguistics itself on trial: following Saussure, how do we dispel such ‘prejudices ’ and ‘fictions ’? We show that Jeantel speaks a highly systematic AAVE, with possible Caribbean influence. We also discuss voice qual - ity and other factors that bedeviled her testimony, including dialect unfamiliarity and institutional - ized racism. Finally, we suggest strategies for linguists to help vernacular speakers be better heard in courtrooms and beyond. * Keywords : AAVE, vernacular dialects, forensic linguistics, language attitudes, sociolinguistics, of what use is linguistics? ‘Da ’s how I speak. He cannot hear me that well. ’—Rachel Jeantel, in courtroom testimony , State of Florida v. George Zimmerman trial, June 27, 2013, pp . 229– 30 of court reporter ’s transcript ‘Ain ’t no justice. That ’s why they got that statue of her and got her blindfolded. Common sense would tell you if anybody need to see, she do. There ain ’t no justice. ’—Memphis, in August Wilson ’s play, Two trains running , 1992 ‘Finally, of what use is linguistics? … in the lives of individuals and societies , speech is more important than anything else. That linguistics should continue to be the prerogative of a few specialists would be unthinkable—everyone is concerned with it in one way or another.

Think Feminism. The one thing that is not being debated this fall as we enter the presidential election season is that whatever the results, they will be momentous. The issues raised at this past spring’s Scholar and Feminist Conference, “Gender and Political Participation,” including encouraging wider political participation and more gender and racial diversity among our elected officials, remain critically important. Political discussions around science are also crucially relevant and issues such as climate change, environmental conservation, and alternative energy have been brought to the table. Each of these issues is not just about advances in scientific knowledge, but also about social relations. How do social choices or international conflicts affect the environment, for example? This semester we take a closer look at these issues through a number of different events, all of which are sure to raise important questions about science and its impact on our world. This year’s Virginia C. Gildersleeve conference, “Gender on Ice,” will bring artists, scholars, scientists, and writers into conversation about how to better understand the impact of human activity at the Poles, and how this region, a vital part of the world’s ecosystems, has been represented. We take up this topic at a moment when the Poles have once again become a subject of both general interest and international conflict.

That's lucky for us legal journalists-especially in a year like the one just winding down. Below are some of the more memorable quotes ALM reporters gathered in 2017, on subjects ranging from the White House legal team to law firm economics to the legal industry's cyber fears. (This collection leaves out the ever-quotable gang of lawyers and justices over at the U.S. Supreme Court, who also had plenty to say in 2017.) For a steady stream of highlights like these, subscribe to ALM's Morning Minute newsletter and check out the "What You Said" section. On representing the president of the United States: "It may be that this president is the worst client in the history of legal representation. He's got really good lawyers at the Department of Justice, and I don't know why he wants to make their life harder." -D.C. bar association president Matt Kaiser on why some lawyers in private practice may have been reluctant to take on Donald Trump as a client. "If the president asks you, you don't say no. I have rocks in my head and steel balls." -Former Hogan Lovells partner Ty Cobb, explaining his mindset as he went to work for Trump this year.
