Commentary: What can be learned from Ithaca’s linguistic landscape

By Shuzhan Li September 25, 2024
My undergraduate class, Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in K-12 Schools, conducted a linguistic landscape project this fall. The goal of this project was to enable students to, in the ethos of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, read the word and read the world. Research tells us that people rarely pay much attention to the linguistic landscape around them. Therefore, for this project, students are encouraged to imagine themselves as fish trying to see the water around them. 
Sara Levy, associate professor and chair in the Department of Education, said the department started exploring the possibility of an Education Studies major in Fall 2020 after several Education Studies minor students said they wanted to take more education courses.
