Congratulations Giang Dang

We extend our heartiest congratulations to Giang Dang for being accepted to present her research at the Linguistic Society of America Centennial Annual Meeting Conference. This achievement is a testament to her dedication and hard work in the field of linguistics.

Giang's contribution to the conference will be a presentation on her research, titled "Working in a Language-as-Problem Framework: Flexibility in Minority Language Education." Her study focuses on how educators in Vietnam navigate top-down policies concerning minority languages using a case study of Mông. The educators at a primary school in Sapa approach Mông with nuance, considering it both a problem and a resource, as well as a right. The research emphasizes the adaptability of teachers in implementing problem-oriented policies and advocates for policies that recognize minority languages as a resource and a right.

Overall, being accepted to present at a conference is a significant accomplishment and a great opportunity for any student. We extend our congratulations to Giang and wish her the best in this exciting experience.
