Colonized, Categorized, and Creolized Culture

from The Culture We Speak Hosted by Dionna Latimer-Hearn

In this episode, Dr. Anick Tolbize and I discuss the challenges of forming an identity through a borrowed language and worldview. We examine the validity of creole language and culture, the inadequacies of demographic categories, and the significance of embracing one’s own identity. Dr. Anick Tolbize lived in the US in the state of Minnesota for five years while completing her PhD in educational psychology. She has been living and working on the island of Rodrigues, her home island, in the Republic of Mauritius, Indian Ocean since 2012, as manager and training coordinator for the Roman Catholic Education Authority Rodrigues, primarily applying Response to Intervention to set up services to support struggling learners in the area of reading in English as a second language. She is married and a mom of three young children. Work by Dr. Tolbize: Tolbize, A. (2019). RtI in the challenging context of the Republic of Mauritius.
