Chantal White teaches Linguistics and French in the French Studies Department at Université Sainte-Anne in Nova Scotia. With a primary interest in linguistic ideologies in language contact settings, Chantal studied linguistic anthropology at New York University. A specialist in traditional and community media, specifically print media and broadcasting, Chantal has worked on the linguistic ideologies and practices of radio hosts on a French-language station targeting the Haitian diaspora in Montreal. Her recent work focuses on linguistic performances and language parodies among stereotypical characters from Baie Sainte-Marie and the linguistic ideologies they convey in their circulation in the media and on stage. With her colleagues Jimmy Thibeault and Stéphanie Chouinard, she is working on a SSHRC-funded project investigating the echoes of 9/11 in the social imaginings in Canada, which she studies in the media discourse of English- and French-language Canadian newspapers.
