Conference
The Language of Cultural Racism
Author
- Karen Hodo (Iowa State University)
Abstract
To explore how racism is embedded in our culture, specifically through American cultural dialect, this presentation will investigate casual references and phrases that contain racist language. These phrases will be isolated (visually and verbally) and placed in historical context while discussing the culturally ingrained ideologies that one is expressing when engaging in this kind of language. The highest priority is to teach ISCORE participants the true meaning behind their language and how to resist past and present racial ideology.
