*Introduction and scope:*

With dramatic increases in global conflict, war, drought and famine, the
estimated number of refugees in need of resettlement during FY 2018 reached
nearly 1.2 million and continues to rise. In response, Australia, Canada
and many European and Latin American countries have launched or expanded
their refugee resettlement programs. The U.S., on the other hand, has taken
a large step back from its role as the world’s leader in refugee
resettlement. The gap left by the U.S.’s significantly reduced role has not
yet been filled (MPI 2017). Meanwhile, an explicit resistance to and
hostility towards displaced persons (and the idea of demographic change) as
well as a surge in far-right populism across the United States, the United
Kingdom and the European Union contributes to uncertainty in the policy
realm, volatility in the political landscape, and unease among immigrant
and refugee advocates.


This volume highlights work that demonstrates how an educational
linguistics perspective might contribute to scholarship and/or educational
innovations needed to advance the research base, inform professional
development of teachers (in preschool, K-12, and continuing/adult education
settings), and improve the educational, social and economic opportunities
available to refugee-background children, youth and adults. With a focus on
language learning and use among refugee-background learners across the
lifespan, this proposed volume demonstrates that educational linguistics as
an approach to inquiry is well positioned to identify, examine, and
theorize the language and literacy dimensions of the refugee experience.


Authors are invited to explore how language ideologies, language policies,
processes of language socialization, and dimensions of language use and
language learning in a range of social spaces (e.g., K-12 classrooms,
after-school programs, community-based programs, the workplace, spaces of
healthcare delivery, online spaces, or nontraditional spaces of language
use/learning) influence processes of learning, practices of teaching, and
policies of language education  With attention to the creative use of
existing or emerging resources as well as the dynamic and social nature of
language learning, this edited volume promises to contribute insights and
understandings that will be of interest to linguistic anthropologists, socially
responsible language teachers, teacher educators committed to linguistic
equity and diversity, curriculum developers, or those involved with
language assessment.
