[Zhongfeng Tian]

Dear Colleagues, 

We are thrilled to invite you to the online launch of our new book, Decolonizing Academic Writing through Translingualism: Walking the Talk (Routledge, 2025), edited by M. Sidury Christiansen, Zhongfeng Tian and Suresh Canagarajah.

The book will be officially published on September 30, 2025, and is now available for pre-order: Book Information.

This collection explores innovative ways to embody translingual practices in academic writing, showcasing how multilingual authors can effectively leverage their linguistic resources in research and publication. Recognizing that traditional academic writing often suppresses multilingual voices, this book advocates for a decolonized approach that embraces diverse linguistic expressions and knowledge representations for social change.

Warmly,
Sidury, Zhongfeng, & Suresh
