Copy edited by Lindsey Harding. Designed by Mike Palmquist.
This multilingual, multimodal edited collection includes contributions from emerging and established scholars who consider a wide range of issues related to scholarly writing for publication in diverse international contexts. The contributors—writing in Cree, English, French, Guadaloupean Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, and sometimes in multiple languages—report the results of empirical studies, consider the impact of pedagogical initiatives, and reflect upon the politics and practices of academic knowledge production and dissemination. Readers will find themselves adopting a reflexive stance as they consider critical questions underlying publishing across sociolinguistic and geographical contexts.
