[Edling] Volume: The Languaging of Higher Education in the Global South: De-colonizing the Language of Scholarship and Pedagogy

[David Balosa via Edling]

I thought that this book may be informative to some members of the EDLING
community.*The Languaging of Higher Education in the Global South  (by
Makoni et al., 2022)*

By foregrounding language practices in educational settings, this timely
volume offers a postcolonial critique of the languaging of higher education
and considers how Southern Epistemologies can be used to further the
decolonization of post-secondary education in the Global South.

Offering a range of contributions from diverse and minoritized scholars
based in countries including South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, Qatar, Turkey,
Portugal, Sweden, India and Brazil, The Languaging of Higher Education in
the Global South problematizes the use of language in various areas of
higher education. Chapters demonstrate both subtle and explicit ways in
which the language of pedagogy, scholarship, policy, and partcipiation
endorse and privelege Western constructs and knowledge production, and
utilize Southern theories and epistemologies to offer an alternative ways
forward – practice and research which applies and promotes Southern
epistemologies and local knowledges. The volume confronts issues including
integrationism, epistemic solidarity, language policy and ideology,
multilingualism, and the increasing use of technology in institutions of
higher education.

This innovative book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and
postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, applied
linguistics, and multicultural education. Those with an interest in the
decolonization of education and language will find the book of particular
use.

The world would be a better place if we all strive for existential unity:
communities' prosperity, social justice, peace, faith, global solidarity
and diversity, human rights, and human dignity for all. -David Balosa
