Emily Livingston works at Bilkent University in Anakra Türkiye. She developed this curriculum while working at Normandale Community College's Tutoring Center as a professional tutor specializing in supporting students who use American English as an additional language. Prior to joining Normandale in January 2020, Livingston worked at an adult English language instructor at a refugee resettlement agency.
Livingston is not an expert in linguistic justice, but rather is a motivated student of exceptional scholars in the fields of sociolinguistics, raciolinguistics, and dialectologists. In addition to these great minds, Livingston is deeply indebted to her colleagues, content reviews, and spouse, without whom none of this would have been possible:
