Biography

Suresh Canagarajah is Evan Pugh University Professor at Pennsylvania State University, USA. He teaches in the Applied Linguistics and English Departments and previously taught in the University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. He is the author of the award-winning book Translingual Practice: Global Englishes and Cosmpolitan Relations (Routledge, 2013).

"The award-winning first edition is already recognized as a landmark publication in the broader discipline of applied linguistics. Still under the editorship of the great Suresh Canagarah, this second edition pushes forward earlier discourses by providing more compelling ideas for understanding language in migratory contexts and, crucially, bettering the lives of migrants around the world. As such, the handbook is not only an important academic work but, more so, an achievement for migrants — a meaningful contribution to those at the margins and peripheries."
