Abstract:

This Element explores multilingual university spaces and
decoloniality, critically examining how coloniality and neoliberalism
intersect. While neoliberal language policies aim to equip students
with English as a 'lingua academia', critical issues relating to
students' translingual identities and belonging are often overlooked.
Empirical data are shared from a linguistic landscape study involving
a walking ethnography of a university educationscape in the United
Arab Emirates, whereby Emirati students share insights on signage and
spaces as 'intertextual products' connected to (un)belonging. Data are
analysed through thematic and nexus analysis with main themes
including the dominance of English, imbalanced bilingualism, bottom-up
translanguaging, everyday nationalism, and sticky places and objects.
Findings are discussed in relation to the study setting and other
global contexts. The Element closes with practical suggestions on
decolonising action relevant to a range of multilingual university
spaces and future research directions.
