Jonathan Rosa is Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education, Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and, by courtesy, Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics at Stanford Univer-sity. His research combines sociocultural and linguis-tic anthropology to study the co-naturalization of language and race as a key feature of modern govern-ance. Specifically, he analyzes the interplay between racial marginalization, linguistic stigmatization and educational inequity. Dr. Rosa is author of the book, Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2019, Oxford University Press) and co-editor of the volume Language and Social Justice in Practice (2019, Routledge). In addition to his formal scholarly research, Dr. Rosa is an ongoing participant in public intellectual projects focused on race, educa-tion, language, youth, (im)migration, and U.S. Latinxs. His work has appeared in scholarly journals such as Language in Society, American Ethnologist, American Anthropologist, and the Journal of Lin-guistic Anthropology, as well as media outlets such as MSNBC, NPR, CNN, and Univision.
