Subaltern Linguistics: A Toolkit for Alternative Education and Practice
Subaltern Linguistics challenges the goals and theoretical foundations of colonial linguistics, academia, and education and provides alternative approaches and practices. The goal of subaltern practice is to create economies, projects, and resources that can be made and used by community members and leaders to develop and promote community beneficial projects in their own language (or a language of their choice). In doing subaltern and CREDIBLE work, we need to develop a new array of tools and resources. This book provides a broad introduction for how this can be done along with examples of multiple CREDIBLE projects carried out by students and members of the broader community.

Part I establishes the need for this work, introduces some concepts that the CREDIBLE approach draws on, and explains CREDIBLE projects. Part II delineates what can be done while adopting a CREDIBLE approach, including several examples of student projects across a range of areas such as education, environment, healthcare and economic development. Part III provides detailed guidelines and instructions on how to develop CREDIBLE projects with worksheets and activities that can be used to conceptualise, plan, and develop CREDIBLE projects. Finally, Part IV includes four CREDIBLE project reports as examples of how this work can be written up for wider dissemination.

This text is an essential guide to a new way of doing linguistics, reflecting the diversity and richness of today’s world.
