Diversifying family language policy: Families, methodologies, and speakers 
(Bloomsbury)
 
Edited by Lyn Wright and Christina Higgins
 
Diversifying family language policy is an edited collection of studies of
multilingual family policy, a line of inquiry that examines family members’
attitudes towards, planning for, and use of language(s) in the home (King &
Fogle, 2006; King, Fogle, & Logan-Terry, 2008). The volume expands this field
by representing diverse family types and unexplored contexts of multilingual
childrearing to demonstrate a wider array of contexts for understanding
language maintenance and shift.
 
We are currently seeking proposals for chapters in an edited volume to be
published by Bloomsbury that expand FLP lines of inquiry by investigating
language practices and ideologies in families that have heretofore been
under-researched in the field, including single-parent, LGBTQ-identified
families, families with “new speakers,” diasporic families in rural
communities and communities where other speakers are few in number, migrant
marriage families, and other ‘unconventional’ family constellations. By
expanding the full scope of families in research on FLP in diverse contexts,
the book seeks to better understand how the make-up of contemporary families
influences FLP processes.
 
We invite you to submit an abstract for consideration in the volume. Please
send a title and abstract of 250-300 words by August 1, 2019 to
cmhiggin at hawaii.edu. Make sure to highlight how your research involves the
study of FLP on new and/or unconventional family configurations that have
previously been under-researched.
 
Tentative timeline of volume:
 
Abstracts due: August 1, 2019
Invitations to authors: August 20, 2019
Submission of chapters: December 1, 2019 
Final submission of chapters: May, 1, 2020
