To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.

Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.

In Late Modernity we have the possibility to evidence and contest the silence or dehumanized discourses about BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color), women, LGBTTQI and non-binary bodies. Within the last decade, there have been a critical mass of scholars in the growing field of raciolinguistics and gender and sexuality studies (Alim & Smitherman, 2013; Alim, Rickford, Ball, 2016; Ferreira, 2014; Flores; Rosa, 2015; Moita Lopes, 2012; Richardson, 2007) who are committed to revealing the central role that language plays in shaping our ideas about race, gender, and sexuality. We perceive an emergency in investigating these issues, especially in the social and historical west context, where hegemonic discourses about these social marks define performances and lives. Intersectional analyses of the interplay between race, gender, and sexuality are understood here as an invention that can help us to understand the social practices in the field of applied linguistics. In this symposium, we invite papers that discuss investigations that deal with language, race, gender, sexuality and its intersectionalities in a variety of contexts that help us bring together diverse theoretical frames and investigations that can contribute to the understanding of racial discourses intersected or not by other markers in Applied Linguistics.

Racial imposter syndrome and light-skinned privilege: Mixed heritage individuals’ struggle to negotiate identity and belonging
StandardAILA Symposium08:30 AM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 16:00:00 UTC
This study uncovers the types of raciolinguistic ideologies that mixed heritage individuals (MHIs) commonly encounter due to their racial appearance and linguistic practices. Thematic analysis of 293 MHIs primarily located in the U.S. indicate that MHIs often encounter exclusion because their racial appearance and linguistic practices do not fit listening subjects' beliefs that all people can be categorized using monoracial labels, must be native-like in their heritage languages/dialects, and that 'standard English' should be used in academic and professional settings.

Drawing on photographs in fashion magazines to study discrimination and racism from multimodal discourse analysis
StandardAILA Symposium08:30 AM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 16:00:00 UTC
This paper intervenes in the discussion about the relationship between discrimination and racism in México. Moita- Lopes and Baynham (2017: vi) say that the great navigations of the 15th and 16th century give birth to the beginning of globalization and that these discourses are based on the prefiguration of 'perfect and pure 'language, race (white), gender (male), sexuality (heterosexuality), religion (Christianity). These essentialist orders related to race was re-described by a cinematography event in 2018. A set of photographs of one of the actresses circulated in well-known magazines and provoked racist reactions and comments.

Toward racially literate thinking: Investigating process within languaging race for white teacher candidates in the United States.
StandardAILA Symposium08:30 AM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 16:00:00 UTC
How might discussions of race in a teacher education course build languaging race as a means to develop racially literate thinking practices? This qualitative research study examines a seven-year period of data collection where teacher candidates’ video journals are analyzed coding language development within and across teacher candidates.
Intersectionality, whiteness and critical feeling: reflecting upon performative affective practices of critical white scholars in the academic context under a decolonial gaze
Standard08:30 AM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 16:00:00 UTC
From an intersectional and decolonial perspective, I reflect upon the performativity of whiteness and affect in the academic context by looking into the discursive evaluative stances (Nóbrega, 2009) in research as performance (De Fina, 2015) and race performativity (Melo, 2019, 2020). I defend we white scholars must center race matters and work on emotions as performative impressions (Ahmed, 2004) to foster "critical feeling" (Borges, 2017) in academia as a western/colonial/racist heteronormative/neoliberal/christian institution which compels us to remain active in the constant struggle for social justice and against power regimes of whiteness, if we are to render our work critical.
