Oxford Collections on Inclusion in Linguistics and Decolonizing Linguistics
We are delighted to share the links to the open-access online versions of Oxford Inclusion in Linguistics and Oxford Decolonizing Linguistics! The books are available on the OUP academic sites and on Google Books. Please share them far and wide! Reshare them on social media, email them around, post them on listservs, and run tell dat! In support of publication justice, please share the links rather than the PDF fikes so that our authors get the download documentation and credit for their work that they deserve.
We strongly encourage readers to engage with them as a pair. The volumes and the models of decolonized and inclusive research, teaching, advocacy, and action that they present are informed by each other. We look forward to the ongoing conversations and the decolonizing and inclusive models of linguistics that will result from scholarly engagement with the chapters in these volumes for years to come.
We thank the following institutions for their support in making the collections fully open-access: Stanford University, Swarthmore College, UCSB, UMBC, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of South Carolina.

This two-volume set of edited collections, Inclusion in Linguistics and Decolonizing Linguistics, covers a range of themes. The first volume presents theories, resources, and models for how to achieve wider participation in linguistics, broadly defined. Contribution themes may include:
- Racial inclusion models in linguistics and findings and results from their implementation
- Inclusion models in P-12 education and the importance of linguistics in student learning and/or in preparing educators
- Inclusion models in undergraduate and graduate linguistics education, including recruitment and retention, curricular changes, instruction and training, research, and mentorship
- Research that addresses the dire need for more inclusion among linguistics faculty and that highlights the experiences of linguists from underrepresented and racially minoritized groups
- The experiences of linguists in administrative and staff positions in higher education, including student affairs and other roles, that highlight the importance of inclusion issues
- The experiences of linguists of color working in industry settings
- Models for community partnerships as a means of broadening and aligning inclusion research, teaching, and advocacy work in linguistics
The second volume focuses on the methodologies and practices of linguistic researchers and other professionals. Contribution themes may include:
- Models for decolonizing linguistic research, with a focus on community-centered participatory action research
- Language reclamation in action, emphasizing person-centered and humanizing perspectives, knowledge, and insights
- Ways of navigating researcher obligations and responsibilities to individuals and communities, particularly via inclusive ethical and participatory models
- Work that engages social justice theories and methodologies and how they can be incorporated into linguistic research
- The experiences of linguists working as activists in scholarly or professional settings or contexts
- Practical and/or theoretical models for racial reparations that can be done through or with linguistic research
- Work that reimagines the purposes of linguistic research by creating models for sharing knowledge, collaborating with communities, and making scholarly communication directly accessible, particularly to communities
