Decolonial sociolinguistics gestures of Andean Quechua-Spanish bilingual college students promoting Quechua
Yuliana Kenfield | Western Oregon University
Andean college students in Cusco, Peru, struggle
to overcome sociolinguistic discrimination against Quechua-Spanish
bilingualism during their pursuit of higher education. To examine
this situation and possibilities for change, I employed a
participatory method, photovoice (Wang & Burris, 1994) within a
community-based participatory research framework, to facilitate
bilingual college students’ exploration of Quechuan practices in
their university. Findings of this participatory study explain how
bilingual participants contributed to community critical awareness
of Quechua-Spanish bilingual ideologies in Cusco when presenting
their visual metaphors during photo interventions. Participants
shared personal experiences to maintaining their Quechua language
and shared their proposals for encouraging their university to
create a fertile terrain for bilingualism, rooting out ideologies of
deficits toward Quechua, and promoting Quechuan practices in
college.
Keywords: Quechua-Spanish bilingualism, language ideologies, sociolinguistic discrimination, Andean linguistics
