As an asynchronous community building activity, you are invited to participate on this collaborative, multi-modal project initiated and sponsored by the Bilingual Language and Literacy Investigative and Networking Club (BLLING) - NYU Chapter and its founder Dr. Maria Rosa Brea. This project is inspired by the revolutionary scholarly works of Ofelia Garcia, Li Wei, Laura Ascenzi-Moreno, Cecilia Espinosa, Tatyana Kleyn, Nelson Flores, Jonathan Rosa, Jon Henner, Octavian Robinson, among some, and it is a continuation of a social media chat led by Clara Bauler and colleagues in 2020 #LanguageIsAVerb (read more)

How do you language? Think about the way you go about your days...

How do you communicate when you send text messages - do you use emojis, gifs, and pictures?
How do you co-construct the world about you with your loved ones or people who cross your path - do you use gestures and point at street signs to give a sense you know the space you travel every day?
Do you use the language/s and other varieties spoken by ancestors, say to read a recipe that hides folded in a cook book or to sing a lullaby to your little one?

This is what this project is about - your languaging and our languaging, as a community.
