Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite chapter proposals for an edited volume tentatively titled Writing Ourselves Otherwise: Translingual Autoethnography and Duoethnography in Language Education, edited by Zhongfeng Tian and Qianqian Zhang-Wu, to be submitted to Multilingual Matters.
Our proposed volume centers translingual autoethnography and duoethnography as methodological responses to the ¡°reflexive turn¡± in applied linguistics¡ªshifting the lens inward by positioning researchers themselves as sites of inquiry. While much translanguaging scholarship has focused outwardly on students, classrooms, and policies, this volume foregrounds the multilingual, racialized subjectivities of researchers and explores how their lived experiences, language practices, and epistemologies inform scholarly work.
We approach translingual autoethnography and duoethnography through three interrelated lenses:

  1.
As a critical theoretical framework that challenges language hierarchies and colonial logics;
  2.
As a communicative and affective practice that invites scholars to think and write using their full linguistic and semiotic repertoires;
  3.
As a methodology of resistance and relationality that centers reflexivity, identity, and solidarity.

Our goal is to create a space where scholars, especially those from linguistically and racially marginalized backgrounds, can write themselves into academic discourse on their own terms. This volume amplifies translingual ways of knowing and writing that challenge dominant norms and contributes to broader efforts to decolonize research and expand what counts as scholarly knowledge.
For more details, including our full framing and suggested topics, please refer to the attached CFP.
