It is well known that language and cultural education builds cross-cultural competencies and supports creativity\, critical thinking\, and global citizenship. With this in mind\, the world language classroom is uniquely suited to challenge bias\, stereotypes\, and nurture student voice and agency. \nLanguage is a powerful tool and as we continue to work toward addressing the structural issues that perpetuate racial inequality\, particularly here in the United States\, this discussion will explore the role of foreign language education in supporting social justice. While also highlighting steps being taken specifically within the Chinese language education community. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Twitter\n \n \n \n Facebook\n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n Like URL:https://www.ciuscenter.org/event/socialjustice/ LOCATION:Confucius Institute U.S. Center\, 1776 Massachusetts Ave. NW Suite 400\, Washington\, DC\, 20036\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
