New Book "Translanguaging and Multimodality as Flow, Agency, and a New Sense of Advocacy in and from the Global South"

[Zhongfeng Tian]

Dear Colleagues, 

We're excited to share that our book "Translanguaging and Multimodality as Flow, Agency, and a New Sense of Advocacy in and from the Global South" is officially published now: https://www.routledge.com/Translanguaging-and-Multimodality-as-Flow-Agency-and-a-New-Sense-of-Advocacy-in-and-from-the-Global-South/Mora-Tian-Harman/p/book/9781032563787. 

This volume provides six distinct frameworks for integrating translanguaging and multimodality as pedagogical possibilities in today’s classrooms and beyond. It brings the two constructs together in investigating the language and literacy experiences of multilingual learners across a range of sociocultural and educational contexts. The book features contributions from scholars across the Global North and Global South who embrace the importance of validating scholarly experiences from the Global South as a way to transcend geographical boundaries in creating more equitable knowledge spaces. Provocative and disruptive, this book explores the possibilities of mixing and remixing definitions, epistemological standpoints, and methodological options and shows the continuing growth found in translanguaging and multimodality research worldwide. It will be a key resource for practitioners, researchers, and scholars of education and pedagogy, bilingual education, language and literacy education, applied linguistics, literacy studies, and language arts. 

Best,

Raúl, Zhongfeng, & Ruth
