The agency of language planners has emerged as a focus in recent language
planning scholarship, especially in the area of micro-level planning. Ricento
(2000, p. 206) argues that the distinctive feature of ''newer
critical/postmodern [approaches] is agency, that is, the role(s) of
individuals and collectives in the processes of language use, attitudes and
ultimately policies''. A focus on agency involves exploration of locations of
acceptance, resistance and reinterpretation of policy and the role of actors
in interpreting and shaping educational policy at the grass-roots level
(Hornberger & Johnson, 2007). However, Zhao and Baldauf (2012, p. 5) critique
language planning and policy scholarship for often reifying ''actors'
individual or group roles in the examination of the policy implementation
process'' and Liddicoat (2019) has maintained that studies of agency often
focus on the positive side of agency rather than looking at constraints and
problems. Johnson and Johnson (2015) also argue that there are important
issues of power that impact on language planning and policy processes. 

The study of agency in language planning and policy research therefore appears
to open up layers of complexity in understanding the agency of various actors
in the process, and this special issue aims to explore these layers. 

The issue will investigate agency broadly and focus on questions such as:
- Who has agency in language policy and planning?
- How is the agency of individuals and groups exercised in the process of
language planning and policy development?
- How is agency claimed, rejected or contested in language planning processes?
- What features of language planning contexts facilitate or constrain actors'
agency?
- How does the agentive action of language planners influence or interact with
the agency of others?
- What sorts of impact do actors have on language policy and planning?
- What do empirical studies of language planning and policy show about the
nature of agency?
