Re-voicing conceptualizations of plurilingual education: ‘El plurilingüismo, este concepto de … ¿cómo se puede decir?’
Plurilingual education is usually viewed by its proponents as emancipatory. But is it really, and if so, how?

In this contribution, we discuss collaborative inquiry and arts-based engagement as public and plurilingual pedagogy. We focus on a partnership between elementary school teachers, families, museums and university researche…
Éléments pour le recensement de la curricularisation de l’intercompréhension en langues romanes à partir d’expériences menées par un groupe d’universités européennes et latino-américaines
