I am working on a monograph fro Cambridge University Press that examines the 1924 foundation of the Linguistic Society of America, emerging as it did in a climate where the so-called ‘scientific racism’ of the early decades of the twentieth century flourished.
Among other works that are forthcoming or in press, there are chapters in several collections, including one on the history of second language acquisition; another (co-authored with Kees de Bot) that reviews the history of applied linguistics; another about racialization in nineteenth-century anthropometrics; and another about conceptualization of multilingualism in the Biblical story of the tower at Babel.
