Dr. Strand Contributes to Interdisciplinary "Rural Voices" Book

Thea Strand recently published a chapter in an interdisciplinary volume titled Rural Voices: Language, Identity, and Social Change Across Place, edited by Elizabeth Seale and Christine Mallinson. The book features contributions from sociolinguists, sociologists, and anthropologists exploring intersections of language, culture, and identity in the lives of rural populations around the world. Dr. Strand's chapter, titled "Multivocal and Critical Performance of Urban Language in Rural Norway," examines rural Norwegians' incorporation of, and resistance to, urban language in their own discourse.
