Heidi Bojsen is Associate Professor at Roskilde University, Denmark. Her research in plurilingual learning and communication, and its ties with epistemological decentring is inspired by the works of Caribbean, Maghrebian and West African intellectuals. With Ismaël Compaoré she directs the international research network Media, Security Crises and Youth in West Africa.Petra Daryai-Hansen is Associate Professor and coordinator of cross-disciplinary courses and degrees at the Department of English, German and Romance Studies, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her main research area is foreign language education with specific focus on plurilingual education, Content and Language Integrated Learning, intercultural education and teacher/student cognition.Anne Holmen is Professor and Head of the Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She took part in the first longitudinal Danish study on the development of bilingualism in school-age children (the Koege-project) and in a number of Nordic collaborative projects, including school-related projects in Greenland.Karen Risager is Professor Emerita in Cultural Encounters, Roskilde University, Denmark. Her research field is language and intercultural education from a transnational and global perspective. She has published widely, including Representations of the World in Language Textbooks (Multilingual Matters, 2018; re-published in China by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Publishing, 2021).

While multilingual scholars are dazzled by the creativity in communication at local contexts of classroom and society, they overlook the larger epistemological shifts promised by translingualism. This book is timely in addressing the resistant knowledge embodied and enacted in language diversity through speech communities we don’t often hear in translingual scholarship.
