As HUFS students and faculty, we have a responsibility
not just to learn and teach languages, but to put language
to good use. Because our actions have consequences for
howlanguageuseandlinguisticdiversityareperceived,we
must use language in ways that are inclusive and serve the
interests of all members of the community. That involves
askingourselveswhyweuseandvaluecertainlanguagesor
varietiesandnotothers,andwhattheconsequencesmaybe.
Wemustalsorecognizethatlanguageuseisneverjustabout
language,andthatmuchlanguageuseisnotjust.
Gloria Anzaldua, the author of the quote above, writes
passionately and persuasively about the importance of
language rights, linguistic diversity, and social justice. She
rejects the notion that one language fits and does all in the
communityandchallengesthepopularbeliefthattheuseof
