Code Switching: A Necessary Skill
Pulp Conversations S1E2: Jordan Owens
Jordan Owens is a creative web developer who knows a thang or two about code switching. Previously he played pro-hockey for 12 years in North America and Europe - achieving his best season in 2014/5 when he finished the regular season with 28 goals and 32 assists for 60 points in 40 games, making him one of the Italian Elite.A’s top scorers that year for the Wipptal Broncos.
Jordan is also half-Black - making him so contextually rare; he had to wait for 7 years in the pros before meeting a fellow person-of-color.
Leave a comment below if you have a point-of-view on code switching.
Conceptually, do you think of it as switching between speech styles or is it more - perhaps an adaptive method for any variety of social contexts?
