Jonathan Rosa is Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education, Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and, by courtesy, Departments of Anthropology, Linguistics, and Comparative Literature. Dr. Rosa’s research examines how race and language are jointly defined, experienced, and transformed across distinctive historical, geopolitical, and institutional contexts. He collaborates with schools and communities to understand these phenomena and challenge the forms of vulnerability to which they correspond. This community-based approach to research, teaching, and service reflects a vision of scholarship as a platform for imagining and enacting more just societies.

Dr. Rosa is author of the award-winning book, Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2019, Oxford University Press), and co-editor of the volume, Language and Social Justice in Practice (2019, Routledge). In addition to various scholarly journals and volumes, his work on race, language, immigration, and education has appeared in popular media outlets such as The New York Times, The Nation, NPR, and Univision. Dr. Rosa has served as President of the Association of Latina/o and Latinx Anthropologists, Co-Chair of the Task Force on Language and Social Justice of the American Anthropological Association’s Society for Linguistic Anthropology and Council for Human Rights, Director of ������������’s Program in Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies, and Co-Director of ������������’s Center for Global Ethnography.
