About the Presenter
Kim Potowski is Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research focuses on Spanish in the United States: Who uses it, with whom, and for what purposes? What changes is it undergoing? How does it connect to identity and to promoting social justice? Her advocacy for the value of education in two languages for all U.S. children was the focus of her 2013 TEDx talk “No Child Left Monolingual.” She has authored and edited over twelve books, including El español de los Estados Unidos, Heritage Language Teaching: Research and Practice, Language and Identity in a Dual Immersion School and Conversaciones escritas. Since 2009 she has served as Editor of the journal Spanish in Context.
