The Language Project Podcast
Come and take a listen to all the ways that language impacts our society! In this podcast we'll explore various topics related to language - everything from how it defines us as humans, how it manifests itself in our technology and our media and arts and impacts the way we think, and how its automation makes our lives easier but also brings its own set of ethical challenges. I'll be joined by many special guests whose own lives have been notably impacted by language, as well as experts in the field of linguistics.

Episode 13
Join me as I continue my discussion with Jacqueline Gutierrez, the Youth Program Coordinator of Poder, where we continue to explore the impact of language on community. We talk about the day to day challenges that non-English speaking communities face when accessing basic civic services such as housing applications, voting, and court visits, and how the nuances of language and cultural context are so important in translation. We also explore the concept of environmental justice and how we should challenge ourselves to think about the change we want to see in our communities as being more than 'just in English'.
