“Before the After Comes the Fire”
In this article, we propose envisioning the tarot as an artful inquiry rooted in encounters with chaos and contingency. As a postfoundational approach to qualitative research, the tarot invites more questions than answers. The creation of tarot card art and card-readings together serve as a powerful heuristic of feral aesthetics. This article documents how creation and reading of a specific tarot deck unfolded at a conference and affected those w…
New Times, New Practices, New Languages
This study explores how school leaders in Norway conceptualize and navigate the challenges of organizing inclusive mathematics education in increasingly superdiverse school environments. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 14 school leaders and informed by positioning theory, monolingual habitus, and superdiversity, the research examines how school leaders’ everyday school leadership discourse frames linguistic and cultural diversity. Find…
Those Who Teach
The Silborns arrived on the 31st of February, 5,078."Earthly years," they said.I knew immediately that couldn't be true-February doesn't have 31 days.When I corrected them, their response came as a song: "We believe you've been asleep for millennia, but based on what you just told us, perhaps longer... We're struggling to grasp your concept of time."It was oddly comforting that such an advanced species had doubts about something as fundamental as…

Conceptualizing the Dangerous Rise of Ethnoreligious Nationalist Literacies in Education
Reluctance to embrace change leaves societies vulnerable to the rise of authoritarian political ideologies, particularly during times of socioeconomic and political crises. Public schools have seen an increase in incidents where fundamentalist groups with differing agendas have attempted to pressure them into adopting curricula whose literacy practices are rooted in a White, northern European Protestant worldview. This essay examines this contemp…
On Pluriversal Dreamscapes
This inquiry-manifesto delves into the potential transformative impact of what embracing magical knowledge could do for post-materialist educational research. We are laboring toward crafting methodologies that might break free from colonialist biases associated with materialist research to embrace a holistic perspective that acknowledges our interconnectedness with and dependence on the environment and its knowledge. In the form of a dialogue, we…
Multilingual policies as dystopia
In ‘Literature and Life’, Deleuze remarks that all literature manifests as delirium, and, as such, the destiny of literature is to play itself out between two poles that create and reflect life back to itself: what the human desires, and the constant changes life imposes onto us. Taking Deleuze’s statement as a point of departure concerning the power of social fiction, this article mobilizes the dystopian imagination as a tool to evaluate what la…
Learning to teach world language online during Covid‐19 pandemic
This study examined distinct conceptualizations of space during a cohort of world languages preservice teachers' (PSTs) clinical experience online. The aim of this study was to shed light on the affordances and limitations of the online space as PSTs reworked the meaning of pedagogical spaces during the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Preservice teachers' autoethnographic writings, journals, and teaching videos were analyzed to better understand …
Confabulating Research
This collaborative autoethnographic essay centers on memory-work describing the ebbs and flows of boarding school policies’ effects on ethnic minorities in China and language policy decisions on multilingual citizens in Sri Lanka. The text is the product of the authors’ attunement to the role that confabulation plays in shaping collaborative autoethnographic research through the sharing and analysis of life-writing activities—for example, memoirs…
Dialogando com Freire e Foucault
Este ensaio tem como objetivo pôr em diálogo a teorização do corpo nos estudos de Michel Foucault e Paulo Freire a fim de obter-se uma maior claridade acerca das relações de poder que estabelecem a língua como um discurso do poder em instituições e mercados linguísticos vinculados à normatividade interditória da criatividade comunicativa humana. A partir desse diálogo, buscamos reconhecer possibilidades para a realização do ensino da língua/gem n…
Paulo Freire in a Hall of Mirrors
Since first published in English in 1970, Pedagogy of the Oppressed has inspired generations of scholars and social activists to examine the inherent potential of Paulo Freire's theories on grassroots intellectual emancipation and education in marginalized communities. The interpretive lineage of Freire's writings is vast, indeed. To date, scholars continue to mobilize Freire's ideas to establish meaningful connections between what he describes a…
Challenging Monolingual Ways of Looking at Multilingualism
In the past decade, researchers have argued for translanguaging as an instructional approach that radically re-conceptualizes educators’ views on multilingualism as an asset. Teacher education programs play a pivotal role in preparing teachers who enact this vision. Research on teachers’ receptivity to translanguaging’s epistemological (re)orientation towards mainstreaming multilingualism, however, remains scarce. To redress this gap, this study …
Make a name for yourself
Naming practices are inextricably linked to cultural values and social norms. Among Chinese English language learners, naming practices have been the focus of studies in both domestic and transnational contexts; however, teachers of Chinese as a foreign language have been largely overlooked. This case study seeks to address this gap by investigating the naming and addressing practices of two transnational Chinese teachers working in the U.S. to f…
Rejecting Babel
Despite the long history of multilingualism in the U.S., language rights debates have tended to center almost exclusively on the acquisition of English as an issue of equity for citizens who are speakers of other languages. Policies advanced in the name of “access” and “equity” continue to frame English as the only viable means through which citizens can enjoy the full benefits of national membership. Seldom, however, is the legislative culture t…
