Community Dialogues, Code-Switching ----------------- 鈥淐ode-Switching鈥 with Jos茅 Barzola -------------- Session: Code-switching is a strategy that people use to alter their self-presentation in different contexts and situations. Often, the way people adjust how they present themselves is driven by societal expectations and norms. To align with the norms of different contexts, people may switch out of many identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, socioeconomic status, and disability status. Perhaps you shift from casual banter with friends to adopting a more formal tone in professional settings. ---------- Speaker: Jos茅 Barzola has a passion for creating social change through nonviolence, nurturing relationships that transcend cultural barriers, and focusing on issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
