Dr. Angela George's research on sociolinguistics and teaching of Spanish supports the inclusion of all varieties of Spanish, including lesser-known ones often spoken by less privileged speakers and including ones spoken by heritage learners of Spanish, which are often stigmatized. By teaching both students and teachers about these varieties and about heritage speakers, she encourages questioning of prominent harmful language ideologies and common myths surrounding language learning and heritage speakers of a language.
