About CDLC
The Coalition for Diversity in Language and Culture (CDLC) promotes innovative, relevant, and collaborative work in the areas of community-engaged research, outreach and advocacy, policy work, and professional development.
We are professors, staff, students, and community members who work collaboratively on year-round projects aimed at enhancing the educational opportunities and socio-cultural well-being of children, youth, and families from diverse language communities. Everyone is welcome to attend our monthly meetings held during the academic year.
The Coalition for Diversity in Language and Culture (CDLC) was founded in 2010 by Professors Micheline Chalhoub-Deville (of the Educational and Research Methodology Department), Colleen Fairbanks (of the Teacher Education and Higher Education Department), and Barbara Levin (of the Teacher Education and Higher Education Department) with support from Dean of the School of Education and the Office of Research and Engagement.
