[Zhongfeng Tian via Edling]

Dear Colleagues,
Happy October! We¡¯re delighted to share that our co-edited volume, Decolonizing Academic Writing through Translingualism: Walking the Talk (edited by M. Sidury Christiansen, Zhongfeng Tian, & Suresh Canagarajah), has just been published by Routledge this week.
This collection explores innovative ways to embody translingual practices in academic writing, showcasing how multilingual authors can effectively leverage their linguistic resources in research and publication. Recognizing that traditional academic writing often suppresses multilingual voices, this book advocates for a decolonized approach that embraces diverse linguistic expressions and knowledge representations for social change.
