This collection sits at the intersection of transnationalism, queer studies, and feminist theories, bringing refreshing perspectives on transnational language teaching and teacher education by amplifying voices from the Global South. Spanning the transnational ELT field, its pedagogical, theoretical, and empirical inquiries cover K-16+ settings across Australasia, Africa, and the Americas.
Creating a critical and dialogic space to re-think the challenges and agency, struggles and growth of language teachers’ transnational identities, contributors cover topics from translingual identity and critical pedagogy to diversity advocacy and collaborative policymaking. As well as restorying the transnational identities of language teachers and teacher educations from the global south, this is a collective study in disrupting binarisms and rehumanizing pedagogy and research in global academia.

The series is dedicated to advancing critical language teacher education research that can transform the dominant practices of language teaching in educational contexts around the world. Language education has become more important than ever, to facilitate the crossing of physical and ideological borders of nation-states, and to meet the needs of increasingly ethnically and linguistically diverse student populations. This series helps inform the preparation of resilient and agentive language teachers with critical social justice orientations. It presents state-of-the-art research to support the formation of teachers who identify as democratic, social agents of formal schooling, and devoted to improving learning experiences of marginalized students. The titles in this series appeal to language teachers, teacher educators, and researchers and can be used as educational materials in graduate and undergraduate studies.
