Multilingualism in contexts of migration and refuge

Special Issue of Critical Multilingualism Studies
Guest Editors: Marianna Pegno and Amanda Snell

Dialogue about multilingualism in contexts of migration and refuge is most
prominently situated in themes such as language learning, politics, and
integration policies. Much less prominent are discussions about and involving
the multilingual capital and experiences of individuals who migrate, seek
refuge, or engage with those who do. However, languages and acts of languaging
play important roles for individuals who seek refuge and migrate--as bonds to
family and home; as grounds for creative expression, as gateways to
employment, citizenship, and social acceptance; as resources for conforming to
or distancing from particular identities or navigating new and existing
linguistic, symbolic, and affective landscapes; as evidence of symbolic
competence or hegemony; as means for resisting or challenging hegemonic
practices. 

This special issue of Critical Multilingualism Studies considers languages and
multilingual subjects in contexts of refuge and migration from wide range of
disciplinary lenses, including research, practice, and creative response.
Possible questions this issue seeks to explore include but are not limited to
the following:

- What multilingual issues are considered or neglected in scholarly research
on/in contexts of refuge and migration across disciplines and genres?
- What interdisciplinary or nontraditional frameworks are available for
representing and researching the languaging capital and experiences of
refugees, migrants, asylum seekers, and members of the communities in which
they seek refuge or resettle?
- In what ways do institutional, national and international language policies
address or obscure the linguistic capital and experiences of individuals
seeking refuge?
- What forms of action-research engage with issues around language and refuge?
- What is the role of art and other creative texts in scholarship about
migration and refuge? How is refuge represented in academic and non-academic
texts?
- What role does ethics play in decisions around language use and learning in
contexts involving migration and refuge, including but not limited to
questions of educational policy and integration? 
- How can scholars, members of community organizations dedicated to refuge,
and individuals seeking refuge collaborate to contribute to scholarship on
multilingualism in contexts of migration and refuge? What methods and genres
are available for researching and legitimizing this interdisciplinary
dialogue?
We welcome manuscripts in all genres, including creative and academic, as well
as pieces in any genre written in languages other than English and accompanied
by an English introduction or abstract. Publications from the community,
including collaborations between academic writers and community members, are
also welcome. We encourage manuscripts that are not just about, but also
include the voices of individuals migrating or seeking refuge. 
The Journal of Critical Multilingualism Studies (CMS) is a peer-reviewed,
transdisciplinary journal of scholarship on multilingualism, monolingualism,
and their related social, cultural, historical, and literary/medial phenomena.
