I had the pleasure of being asked to appear on WGBY's local television series, The Watercooler this week. The roundtable discussion was hosted by Susan Kaplan. I had the pleasure of sitting with her, Professor Ilan Stavans of Amherst College and fellow Holyoker Carmen Felix-Fournier of the Springfield schools. We discussed the question of language in society, bilingual education and the importance of our English language to all Americans.
It was a very thoughtful conversation. I think you will enjoy it.
The show will be airing on WGBY Public Television on:
Sunday, February 3 at 9:30am and 6:30pm
Tuesday, February 5 at 1:30pm and 7:30pm
It also is available ON DEMAND on COMCAST
If you are not able to watch it on your television, you can tune in on the WGBY website. Here are two links:
