About the Author
Leya Mathew is a distinguished scholar in linguistics and cultural studies, whose work illuminates the intricate dynamics of language, power, and social aspiration in postcolonial contexts. With a keen focus on how English functions as a tool for moral and social mobility among marginalized communities, Mathew's research challenges traditional narratives of linguistic imperialism by highlighting grassroots perspectives and agency from below. Her interdisciplinary approach draws from sociolinguistics, anthropology, and critical theory, offering fresh insights into the ways language shapes identity and opportunity in globalized societies. As an educator and advocate, she continues to explore the intersections of education, inequality, and cultural resistance, inspiring readers to reconsider the role of language in perpetuating or dismantling social hierarchies.
