Many who care about equity in our society are unaware language justice is also an important part of the issue. Applied linguist Dr. Uju Anya discusses problems faced by child language brokers burdened with translating high stakes documents and interactions for adult family members, individuals navigating legal proceedings and medical care without adequate language support, and language discrimination in schools and housing to exemplify how ensuring everyone’s fundamental right to communicate using the language they know best is a matter of social justice.
