Global Forum on Southern Epistemologies

Series Editors:

Sinfree Makoni, Rafael Lomeu Gomes, Magda Madany-Saá, Bassey E. Antia and Chanel Van Der Merwe 

This book series publishes independent volumes concerned primarily with exploring peripheralized ways of framing and conducting language studies in both the Global South and Global North. We are particularly interested in the 'geopolitics of knowledge' as it pertains to language studies and aim to illustrate how language scholarship in the Global North is partially indebted to diverse traditions of scholarship in the Global South. We are also keen to explore interfaces between language and other areas of human and non-human scholarship. Ultimately, our concern is not only epistemological; it is also political, educational and social. The books are part of the Global Forum, which is open and politically engaged. The Global Forum fosters collegiality and dialogue, using the technologies essential to productivity during the pandemic that have served our collective benefit. In the book series, we experiment with the format of the book, challenging the colonial concept of a single monologic authorial voice by integrating multiple voices, consistent with decoloniality and the democratic and politically engaged nature of our scholarship.

Language, Education and Diversity

Series Editors:

Stephen May, Teresa L. McCarty, Constant Leung and Serafín M. Coronel-Molina

The Language, Education and Diversity series aims to publish work at the intersections of language policy, language teaching and bilingualism/multilingualism, with a particular focus on critical, socially-just alternatives for minoritised students and communities. The series will be interdisciplinary, drawing on scholarship from language policy, language education, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, linguistic anthropology and the sociology of language, including work in raciolinguistics and translingualism. We welcome a variety of methodological approaches, although critical ethnographic accounts are of particular interest.

Topics to be covered by the series include:
  • Bilingual and Multilingual Models of Education
  • Indigenous Language Education
  • Multicultural Education
  • Community-based Education
 

All books in this series are externally peer-reviewed.


Proposals should be sent to Anna Roderick anna@multilingual-matters.com.
