Between loss and restoration: The role of liminality in advancing theories of grief and bereavement
“We are in our country. Why do we have to resort to western ways of doing things?”: An analytic framework for knowledge application in language teachers studying abroad
In this article we suggest a framework for researching the study abroad experiences of English language teachers, and analyze data from a study of higher education English teachers from four Southeast Asian countries who completed graduate studies at a Canadian university. We present data from interviews with 10 participants which took place in their home countries four years after taking the program. Research questions and interview questions re…
Impacts of a professional practice doctorate: A collaborative enquiry
Doctoral education aims to benefit those who undertake it, but does it exert a wider influence? Professional doctorates are commonly designed to have an impact beyond the individual concerned, but is this influence realised? This article focuses on a collaborative enquiry by a group of academics and doctoral alumni from non-discipline-specific professional doctorates. The enquiry examined how the professional practice of the graduates changed as …
Navigating Covid-19 linguistic landscapes in Vancouver’s North Shore: Official signs, grassroots literacy artefacts, monolingualism, and discursive convergence
This article describes the changing linguistic landscape on the North Shore of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic. I present an account of the visual representation of change along the area's parks and trails, which remained open for socially-distanced exercise during the province's lockdown. Following the principles of visual, walking ethnography, I walked through numerous locations, obser…
Engaging with linguistic landscaping in Vancouver’s Chinatown: A pedagogical tool for teaching and learning about multilingualism
This article describes the use of linguistic landscaping as a pedagogical resource [Sayer, Peter. 2010. “Using the Linguistic Landscape as a Pedagogical Resource.” ELT Journal 64 (2): 143–154] for teaching and learning about multilingualism in a graduate course on ethnographic research methods. We present an account of a student-researcher carrying out a linguistic landscaping project as a means to document, analyze, and engage with multilinguali…
Plurilingualism, teaching and learning, and Anglophone higher education: An introduction Anglophone universities and linguistic diversity
In this Special Issue, we present a series of articles on plurilingual approaches to teaching and learning in two Anglophone higher educational settings, the UK and Anglophone Canada. Universities
Learning Ethnography Through Doing Ethnography: Two Student-Researchers' Insights
In this article, we present the accounts of the field experiences and challenges of two graduate student-researchers practising ethnographic methodology, conducting fieldwork, and writing up 'post-modern' ethnographies that are both creative and 'integrative'. We describe the complexities and tensions when two student-researchers negotiated many issues in the field and 'behind the desk' as they transformed the texts: epistemology and ontology, re…
Understanding plurilingualism and developing pedagogy: Teaching in linguistically diverse classes across the disciplines at a Canadian university
I analyze data from a one-year study of plurilingualism across the disciplines in Canadian higher education. I focus on how instructors in different disciplines understand their students’ plurilingual practices and how they respond pedagogically to teaching in linguistically diverse classes. I employ the theoretical lenses of plurilingualism and plurilingual competence. Selected data are presented from a broader project, namely, interviews with f…
The Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Health in Older Women (Opach) Study
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00000611 . Registered 27 October 1999
Acoustics of the West Kennet Long Barrow, Avebury, Wiltshire
Continuing on from a 2011 preliminary study, this paper investigates further the acoustical properties of one of Wiltshire’s best-known monuments, the West Kennet long barrow, in the Avebury complex. Its two pairs of transepted chambers resonate at frequencies that are musically a ‘perfect fourth’ apart – a ratio of 4:3. The frequency of the resonances is dictated by the size of the chambers, which in plan are also proportioned 4:3. Several other…
Plurilingualism amid the panoply of lingualisms: Addressing critiques and misconceptions in education
Today, scholars and students face an array of lingualisms: bilingualism, multilingualism, polylingualism, metrolingualism plurilingualism, codeswitching, codemeshing, and translanguaging, among others. Plurilingualism can be understood as the study of individuals’ repertoires and agency in several languages, in different contexts, in which the individual is the locus and actor of contact; accordingly, a person’s languages and cultures interrelate…
B or Not 2B Plurilingual? Navigating Languages Literacies, and Plurilingual Competence in Postsecondary Education in Canada
In this article, the researchers employ the framework of plurilingualism and plurilingual competence in a field that has traditionally been dominated by reified conceptualizations of multilingualism that view bi/multilingualism as balanced and complete competence in discrete codes. They present data from a qualitative, longitudinal study of the interplays between the social, cultural, and linguistic in the multiple languages and literacy practice…
The story of the tallat: Latin American bar workers, Catalan-speaking customers, and coffee
Many Latin Americans who emigrate to Spain arrive in Barcelona, where they encounter Catalan for the first time. Many find jobs in bars shortly after arriving, where they have to deal with not understanding Catalan-speaking customers. In this article, I present selected data from interviews from a four-year qualitative, ethnographic study of the languages, migration, and identities of Latin American immigrants in Barcelona, in which participants …
Multilingualism and English language usage in ‘weird’ and ‘funny’ times: A case study of transnational youth in Vancouver
Traditional definitions of multilingualism have reified and divided individuals’ many languages and literacies into separate compartmentalised worlds of existence – worlds that are oftentimes theorised in the literature as fraught with struggle. In this article, we illustrate how multilingual struggle is not always the case by presenting data (interview and writing sample excerpts) from a study of the multilingualism and literacy practices of und…
Musical Resonances of the West Kennet Long Barrow
The West Kennet Long Barrow, a Neolithic passage grave, has stone chambers that function as Helmholtz Resonators. The chambers' resonant frequencies are investigated musically and found to be harmonically related. In common with other tombs of the period, there is a strong overall resonance of 110 Hz, as well as a subsonic component that produces psychological and possibly physiological effects on a listener that some might interpret as “paranorm…
Investigation of a “Sun Roll” Effect in Relation to Silbury Hill
A “sun roll” occurs when the angle of the rising or setting sun exactly matches that of a hill; to an observer the sun appears to “roll” up or down the side of the hill. Sun rolls may not be as rare as previously thought; a new methodology for predicting them is tested in practice, using Silbury Hill near Avebury and the area of the West Kennet palisades as a viewing location. Two potential back-sights are investigated that suggest a sun roll dow…
Languages and national identities in contact: The case of Latinos in Barcelona
Mass migration is having a dramatic effect on established minority groups in territories/regions/countries within larger pluri-nation states, especially where linguistic normalization policies are protecting national minority languages. Catalonia is one such case. With language recognized as the symbol of many of Spain's historical and current identity crises (Mar-Molinero 1996), the recent mass migration of Spanish-speaking Latin American immigr…
