Includes bibliographical references.

"This introduction to Inclusion in Linguistics begins by explaining the motivation for the volume and its grounding in social justice initiatives within linguistics, the academy, and society more broadly. It then provides an overview of the chapters, organized around the volume's major themes: intersectional inclusion, disciplinary and institutional pathways for inclusion, creating just and inclusive classrooms, and fostering community partnerships and public engagement. Next, reflecting on the insights of the chapters, a key principle of inclusion in academia is discussed, namely, that inclusion and exclusion are both personal and structural. Finally, the inclusive process of developing and creating the volume is described and the reader is called upon to use this volume and its companion, Decolonizing Linguistics, to develop their own action plan for advancing social justice in linguistics"-- Provided by publisher.
