We explore the use of linguistic varieties other than standard American (and academic) English in academia and in general, and particularly in a college theater program called Seeing Rape. Seeing Rape aspires to bring anthropology to a broader public to eradicate sexualized violence on campus. We discuss the possibilities and challenges encountered in trying to center different languages and dialects at the college through our program.
