Who is involved and why in the linguistic landscapes in educational contexts? How are agency and activism reflected in educationscapes? These questions and more are addressed in the various contributions in this volume, thus expanding the boundaries of educationscapes through enquiries that focus on educational agency and activism. In particular, the collection sheds light on linguistic, semiotic and spatial agency and activism in different educational contexts around the world. By focusing on agency as social practice and activism as act to change, the studies broaden our understanding of the actors, and how they mobilize their linguistic and semiotic resources to shape the educationscape. The volume advances the study of linguistic landscapes in educational contexts and offers a critical approach to reflect on inequality, power and decolonialization of languages in educational spaces, as well as the professional development of future teachers."[…] the volume presents both an exciting journey to very different parts of the world, and at the same time creates connection between the specific themes of each chapter through key concepts of activism and agency. In this book the reader is presented with deep contrasts that they may not have been aware of. Although this is not necessarily the primary goal of the volume, these comparisons embrace a value that can bring something remarkably new not only to the reader but also to the field itself.[…] the book is profoundly rich in information, thorough in its analysis, and objective in its description.[…] readers who are interested in the field of linguistic landscape in general and in educational context in particular would strongly appreciate this book, as they can gain inspirations of methodologies, and further reflect on their insights regarding activism and agency in educational contexts."(Enikő Biró, International Journal of Multilingualism, 10.7.2025)
