We are delighted to announce that Migration, Education and Translation, an edited volume emerging from our 2017 symposium, will be published soon. Edited by our Associate Directors, Professor Henry Johnson and Dr Vivienne Anderson, this multidisciplinary collection examines the connections between education, migration and translation across school and higher education sectors, and a broad range of socio-geographical contexts.
Organised around the themes of knowledge, language, mobility, and practice, it brings together studies from around the world to offer a timely critique of existing practices that privilege some ways of knowing and communicating over others. With attention to issues of internationalisation, forced migration, minorities and indigenous education, this volume asks how the dominance of English in education might be challenged, how educational contexts that privilege bi- and multi-lingualism might be re-imagined, what we might learn from existing educational practices that privilege minority or indigenous languages, and how we might exercise ‘linguistic hospitality’ in a world marked by high levels of forced migration and educational mobility. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in education, migration and intercultural communication.
As well as chapters from the editors, the volume includes contributions from the following staff, postgraduate students, affiliates and Visiting Scholars of the Centre for Global Migrations: Dr Rachel Raffery, Dr Naoko Inoue, Dr Tiffany Cone, and Professor Alison Phipps. Congratulations everyone.
