 thropology\, Western\nIllinois University\n\nChaise LaDousaProfessor of An
 thropology\, Hamilton CollegeLanguage\, Identity and Education in South As
 iaIn both the United States and\nSouth Asia\, it is clear that the languag
 e of instruction and positive\neducational outcomes are inextricably linke
 d. In both countries\, many languages\nare spoken and differences between 
 languages spoken at home and at school can become\na burden for some stude
 nts. However\, school systems rarely consider the ways\nthat students them
 selves reflect on these dynamics. &nbsp\;\n\nDavis and LaDousa will draw o
 n\ninterviews conducted at a prestigious institute of higher education in 
 India to\nshow how students relate language to their home life\, transitio
 n to school\, and\nfuture career ambitions. Students talk about links betw
 een language and social\nidentity through the concept of “mother tongue” –
  literally\, the tongue of\none’s mother to whom one has an absolute bond.
  By taking seriously students’\nown reflections on language and identity\,
  teachers and administrators might\nbetter understand what challenges thei
 r students face as they seek educational\nopportunities.This talk is part 
 of the Cornell- Syracuse South Asia\nConsortium “Global Voices in Educatio
 n” series\, designed to introduce faculty\nand students in Schools of Educ
 ation international perspectives on education\nthroughout South Asia.For m
