Rural Schools, Linguistic Identities, and Official Language Minority Rights

QUESCREN Working Paper No. 9, March 2023

By Joanne Pattison-Meek and Andréanne Langevin

“There is considerable scholarly work examining the ways Quebec’s language policies regulate the language of instruction in schools. The current paper contributes to the existing literature by sharing the voices of 21 rights holder parents living in rural areas of Quebec and discussing the ways language of instruction policies influence their school choices and impact their children’s school experiences in rural contexts.”
