Nicholas Close Subtirelu is assistant professor of Applied Linguistics at Georgetown University. His work focuses on the sociopolitical dimensions of language education. He is especially interested in the ways that ideologies related to language and race (e.g., raciolinguistic ideologies) impact educational practice and research. He is section editor of the Forum for the journal TESOL Quarterly, and he is also co-editor of the forthcoming book Bilingualism for all? Raciolinguistic perspectives on dual language education in the United States along with Nelson Flores (University of Pennsylvania) and Amelia Tseng (American University).
In this talk, Nic Subtirelu presented (1) a theoretical argument for the importance of applied linguistics research that addresses the ways L1 English users can be better prepared to communicate cross linguistic difference, (2) a discussion of the institutional and disciplinary obstacles that this research faces, and (3) an overview of existing research in this vein, focusing on work that he has completed in collaboration with his colleagues, especially Stephanie Lindemann (Georgia State University), Kris Acheson (Purdue University), and Maxi-Ann Campbell (Duke Kunshan University).

Imposter Syndrome Workshop

Impostor syndrome is commonly defined as a psychological pattern where the person suffering from it [most people in academia?] doubts their skills or accomplishments and fears that they will be exposed as a "fraud". Success is attributed to luck or seen as a result of the person having deceived others into thinking that they are more intelligent than they believe they are. These feelings persist despite external evidence of competence and success.
In this workshop, Luke Plonsky and Tove Larsson talked about the syndrome and its prevalence in academia, shared some of their experiences of it. The presenters and audience had very open and effective discussion of the topic.
