Preface

Abstract

This Dept. of Second Language Studies Working Papers is dedicated to the memory of Ok Kyoon Yoo. Students, friends, and faculty involved in this special issue would like to thank J. D. Brown for unhesitatingly offering the SLS Working Papers as a means for paying tribute to Ok Kyoon. The paper contributions are concerned with critical language studies in honor of Ok Kyoon’s commitment to social justice. Several of the contributors were either close friends or shared courses with Ok Kyoon. All are concerned with issues of power relations and equity that were central to Ok Kyoon’s academic and political work.
