Justin Brown

I am a lecturer in linguistics. I grew up in Cape Town and I was educated at UCT. At the moment my main research interests are in language ideologies, language politics, discourses around language shift, endangerment, maintenance, and revitalization, as well as in issues of decoloniality in linguistics. I am a socio-cultural linguist/ linguistic anthropologist, and I am also interested in a range of other topics including linguistic ethnography, language in education, language and the economy, pragmatics, performance, and the philosophy of language.
