Multimodal Soundscape Walking
This paper introduces a Multimodal Soundscape Walking (MSW) methodology to explore a city's cultural and linguistics complexities. Employing soundscaping and walking methods, the study views the city as a sentient being rather than a static entity. Guided by complexity theory, it demonstrates interconnections among human and non-human experiences. Findings reveal urban spaces as dynamic participants where languages and cultures synergize, fosteri…

Towards Pluriversal Language Education
Interview with Dr. Yecid Ortega, researcher for the ARTEM Research Collective and Muse Arts Creative Lab
Scenes of entanglement
Drawing on the growing interest in affective and relational approaches to scene studies, we use this paper to explore a reimagining of DIY music scenes, and the transglobal noise music scene in particular, through a posthuman lens. This retheorization situates music scenes as becoming entanglements that incorporate space and time rather than historicized communities bounded by these notions. To ground this work, we present an arts-based duoethnog…
Immigrants’ and refugees’ ‘funds of knowledge(s)’ on the path to intercultural competence
Funds of knowledges are the accumulated intellectual, social, and cultural competencies that all students bring to educational settings. Immigrants and refugees necessarily experience emotional, material, linguistic, cultural, and legal struggles as they transit from home countries to host countries. Their experiences expand the funds of knowledges that they develop. Education must respond to the needs of these students. A profound educational re…
Symbolic annihilation
Using a critical approach, I discuss the socioeconomic power impact of capitalism, neoliberalism, and globalization in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) in Colombia, described as a symbolic annihilation process. I argue how these three constructs have influenced language policy-decisions making processes and classroom practices by providing documentation from an 8-month critical ethnographic study. This research was interested i…
Addressing Anti‐Black Racism in English Language Teaching
Anti‐Black racism can be difficult to discuss in English language teaching because teachers often feel unprepared. This article describes our experiences as researchers and educators from a duoethnographic self‐study to understanding the possibilities of addressing social justice issues in an adult English as a second language (ESL) classroom. Using the concepts of anti‐racism and solidarity, we explored how teachers can plan, deliver, and evalua…
Charlas y Comidas
Qualitative research has utilised focus groups and interviews to gather information from participants while conducting ethnographic research. This article explores the potential of alternative forms of collecting data that are more in line with the participants' feelings, emotions and expectations. Charlas (chats) and Comidas (meals) were utilised in an ethnographic study with English teachers and their students in marginalised high schools in Bo…
Beginning the Quilt
This article contributes to scholarship on collaborative knowledge-making by documenting our methodological experiences of conducting multiple ethnographies and the emergence of what we describe as a methodology of quilting and vulnerability. We borrowed from critical and decolonial frameworks for knowledge production and knowledge dissemination to reflect on the organic processes that we implemented to document our polyphonic conversations about…
Transformative Pedagogies for English Teaching
This reflection article reports on an eight-month critical ethnographic study in Bogotá, Colombia. I visited the classrooms of three English teachers and their secondary students from a diverse and marginalized community in the southwest part of the city. Data collected in the form of student focus groups and teacher interviews revealed how students and teachers attempted to transform their difficult living conditions. Teachers’ pedagogies provid…
Using Collaborative Action Research to Address Bullying and Violence in a Colombian High School EFLClassroom
This paper describes how a collaborative action research project implemented in an underprivileged high school in Bogotá helped an English teacher and her students discuss issues of social justice with a special focus on bullying. It also discusses how the English teacher used her class to connect global and local issues to sensitize students to their own social inequalities. To do this, the teacher used social justice, critical peace education, …
