Alex Ding is Associate Professor of English for Academic Purposes and Director of Scholarship at the University of Leeds, UK. Laetitia Monbec is Senior Lecturer in the Centre for English Language and Communication at the National University of Singapore, Singapore.

For any EAP practitioner who has felt marginalized or unseen, this rich collection shows that you are not alone and offers a vocabulary and discourse to begin to articulate the value and agency practitioners hold. Giving space to a refreshing array of voices from around the world, Practitioner Agency and Identity in EAP provides glimpses into researchers grappling with what it means to practice EAP, the ethics of our research, and our positions within the university.
