Colleagues,
I just published Episode 206 of The Big Rhetorical Podcast featuring an interview with Dr. Shakil Rabbi.
Keywords: Translingualism, Language, Rhetoric, Sovereignty, Bangladesh.

Shakil Rabbi is assistant professor in the Department of English at Virginia Tech, where he teaches courses in rhetoric, writing studies, and research methods. His new book, The Language Movement in Bangladesh charts the Bangla Language Movement from a rhetorical perspective. Rabbi investigates the rhetorical facets of this debate and its takeaways for critical conversations around translingualist perspectives and rhetorical sovereignty. Rabbi analyzes the role of traditional, modernist, and folk ideologies during this era of subcontinental history through a combination of digital humanities and translingualist methodologies.
Thanks,
Charles
