Biography
Suresh Canagarajah is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Applied Linguistics, English, and Asian Studies, and is Director of the Migration Studies Project in the Departments of Applied Linguistics and English at Pennsylvania State University, USA.
"This is an amazing collection of literacy autobiographies by a group of multilingual language users and a critical engagement with them by Canagarajah, coming directly out of practice but with wide-ranging theoretical and methodological implications. There is nothing like it out there, and this volume will really push the boundaries and be a key milestone for literacy studies, translingual writing and language in education."
Li Wei, University College London, UK
"At once a treatise on language and writing pedagogy, a collection of translingual and transnational literacy autoethnographies, and a textbook, this is a remarkable publishing feat that, in and through its multifaceted character, demonstrates both the challenges and value of transnational and translingual writing and its teaching."
Bruce Horner, University of Louisville, USA
