[Edling] Call for Chapters - Attending to the Complexity of Identity and Interaction in Language Education

[Ali Fuad Selvi]

Dear EdLing members,

On behalf of my collaborators, Drs. Nathanael Rudolph (Mukogawa Women's
University) and Bedrettin Yazan (The University of Alabama), I am writing
this email to invite you to submit a chapter proposal for an upcoming
edited volume entitled "Attending to the Complexity of Identity and
Interaction in Language Education".

*Introduction and Scope*
This edited volume, drawing upon postmodern and poststructural theory, will
represent a novel attempt to reconcile critical approaches to identity and
experience, with attention to the complexity of identity and interaction in
and beyond the classroom, within language education (Canagarajah, 2007,
2013; Cenoz & Gorter, 2015; De Costa, 2014; Jenkins, 2015; Kramsch & Zhang,
2017; Lin, 2013; Selvi & Rudolph, 2017). The volume will focus, in
particular, on classroom practice that:

   - apprehends and addresses the contextualized, sociohistorical
   construction of essentialization and idealization within communities
   and language learning classrooms therein,
   - accounts for the dynamic, negotiated complexity of learner and user
   identity, and interaction, in the classroom, and
   - equips learners for the challenges of interaction in a world
   characterized both by movement and diversity and simultaneous attempts
   to manipulate, control and stifle such variety and dynamism.

Our goal is to provide teaching professionals and teacher educators at all
levels, in contexts around the globe, with a volume that
transcends particular “language” teaching “fields” (e.g., ELT), bringing
together common conversations and issues occurring in and across
discursive spaces and discourse communities. We envision a volume that
equips teachers and teacher educators, both present and potential with with
a theoretical foundation for their practice, and ideas and inspiration upon
which to draw in their classrooms. The overarching working medium of the
volume will be English, though contributors are free and encouraged to
incorporate rich, translingual descriptions of conceptualized
and actualized practice into their chapters.

*Submission Instructions and Timeline*
Individuals interested in participating in the volume are asked to submit a
tentative title and abstract of *up to 300 words* outlining their
proposed chapter, in addition to providing their name and
affiliation. Please submit the document in .doc, docx, or.pdf format to *Dr.
Nathanael Rudolph*, on or before *April 15th, 2018*, at najoru13 at mukogawa-u.
ac.jp <najoru13 at mukogawa-u.ac.jp>.
