In- Conceivable Futures
This paper engages in a content analysis of public testimonies available through the Conceivable Future project, a network of individuals from the United States and Canada who seek to bring awareness to the threat climate change poses to reproductive justice. How are these individuals navigating reproductive decision making amid the climate crisis? Specifically focusing on individuals who express that they are choosing not to have children, we ex…
Multilingualism in academic writing for publication
We are living in an era characterized by multilingualism, global mobility, superdiversity (Blommaert, 2010), and digital communications. Mobility and multilingualism, however, have long characterized most geolinguistic contexts, including those where monolingual ideologies have influenced the formation of contemporary nation states (Cenoz, 2013). As language is a pillar of both curriculum and instruction, in many academic spaces around the world …
Manifesto
Buscamos discutir alguns pressupostos sobre o uso do inglês como "língua franca" em contextos acadêmico-científicos, identificar o impacto destes pressupostos nas trajetórias de produção e recepção de conhecimentos, e legitimar o uso de múltiplas línguas para a troca acadêmica transnacional. Propomos dez princípios: o uso do inglês quanto "língua franca" acadêmico-científica não sempre promove a inclusão; uma suposta "língua franca" acadêmicocien…

The politics of English, language and uptake
Drawing on 95 text histories from a longitudinal project on writing for publication in 4 national contexts, this article analyses the language ideologies enacted in referees’ and editors’ comments on articles submitted for publication in English-medium ‘international’ journals. It considers how orientations to ‘English’, ‘language’ and ‘language work’ are enacted in practices of reviewer uptake and the consequences of such practices for knowledge…

The geolinguistics of English as an academic lingua franca
To explore how the global status of English influences knowledge production and circulation, this paper focuses on citations in English‐medium national and English‐medium international journal articles. Drawing on text, ethnographic, and corpus data from a longitudinal study in four national contexts, we argue that citation practices vary significantly along geolinguistic lines – that is, in terms of who gets cited, where and by whom – and that s…
Designing Research-Based Heuristics to Support English-Medium Academic Writing and Publishing
Professional Academic Writing by Multilingual Scholars
Scholars around the world are under increasing pressure to publish their research in the medium of English. However, little empirical research has explored how the global premium of English influences the academic text production of scholars working outside of English-speaking countries. This article draws on a longitudinal text-oriented ethnographic study of psychology scholars in Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, and Portugal to follow the trajectories…

Multilingual Scholars and the Imperative to Publish in English
This article examines how multilingual scholars who work outside English-speaking countries negotiate the demand to publish in English alongside their broader academic and publishing interests. Based on our ethnographic study of the academic writing and publishing practices of 16 psychology scholars in Hungary, Slovakia and Spain, we characterize the range of communities for whom the scholars are writing, drawing on notions of discourse community…
Skills, access, and ‘basic writing’
As policymakers in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, push for widening participation in higher education, the preparation of diverse students for the communicative demands of the academy becomes increasingly salient. As greater numbers of ‘non-traditional ’ students, who may be unfamiliar with the conventions of academic communication, enter higher education, discussions about explicitly teaching academic literacy have increa…
Fictive Kin as Social Capital in New Immigrant Communities
Fictive kin, defined as family-type relationships, based not on blood or marriage but rather on religious rituals or close friendship ties, constitutes a type of social capital that many immigrant groups bring with them and that facilitates their incorporation into the host society. We describe three types of fictive kin systems in different immigrant populations and argue that their functions are similar across various ethnic groups and types of…
