Springer, Daniel L.; Stokowski, Sarah; Zimmer, Wendi – Sport Management Education Journal, 2022

Freire, Juan A.; Delavan, M. Garrett – Language Policy, 2021
The rising popularity of dual language education programs resembles gentrification in policy spaces where the influx of privileged newcomers coincides with some form of pushing out of the former beneficiaries or their interests, which can include the promotion or exclusion of certain program models. Using critical discourse analysis, we examined…
