by Pierre Wilbert Orelus (Author)
Orelus' valuable study draws on the scholarly work of sociocultural and postcolonial theorists, as well as testimonies collected from study participants, to explore accentism, the systemic form of discrimination against speakers whose accents deviate from a socially constructed norm.
Author Biography
Dr. Pierre Wilbert Orelus is associate professor at Fairfield University and past chair of the Educational Studies and Teacher Preparation department, where he is faculty and the director of the Teaching and Foundation master's program. His research is intersectional examining ways in which race, language, and class interweave to affect people's lives in general and student learning in particular, often in ways that go unnoticed. His most recent books include Unschooling Racism (Springer, 2020) and How It Feels to Be Black in the USA (Brill, 2022).
