This edited volume brings the important topic of teacher well-being to the fore, presenting a range of high quality and cutting-edge contributions that illuminate, advance and educate readers on the challenges and criticality of achieving teacher well-being in English language teaching (ELT). Taking Sarah Mercer’s call for action to make teacher well-being a priority in the ELT field, and adopting an ecological perspective reflective of the stance that teacher well-being is a societal duty and not a personal responsibility, the contributors present theoretically and methodologically innovative research studies from all around the world. The term ‘teacher’ is used to refer to those who deliver English instruction in a variety of formal and informal educational settings and at different levels including K-12 schools, adult education, higher education, teacher education programs, and in community organizations. Chapters offer clear implications for research and practice, and explore effective practices and interventions that can contribute to the improvement of teacher well-being overall. Addressing a profession which is not only characterized as being filled with high levels of stress, but delving into specific challenges around ELT in particular, the authors crucially speak to themes around the additional emotional investment and labor which come with being an English language teacher. As such, it will appeal to academics and researchers in the field of English language teaching, including scholar-practitioners, and teacher educators.

This edited volume comprises an insightful collection of international autoethnographies from doctoral candidates in the field of applied linguistics, narrating and analyzing their student experiences to problematize and challenge the dominant and oppressive cultures of academia.

Through 12 select contributions, the book examines the intersection of identity work and emotional labor in the doctoral student journey, sharing insights into the potential of autoethnography for self-reflection, community building, and healing in doctoral studies. Contributors examine their doctoral journeys through personal narratives and testimonials to understand their own experiences, agency, identity, and emotions, encouraging current or former doctoral students to engage in the critical reflection of their own experiences. Chapters are divided into four themes: interrelating multiple identities, navigating and negotiating in-betweenness, engaging emotions and wellbeing, and establishing support systems.

Offering unique perspectives from a global spread of Ph.D. candidates, this book will be highly relevant reading for researchers and prospective or current doctoral students of applied linguistics, language education, TESOL, and LOTE. It will also be of interest to those interested in higher education, dissertation research, and autoethnography as a method.

At a pivotal moment in Vietnamese history, this pioneering collection brings together a new generation of Vietnamese scholars—both within Vietnam and in the diaspora—to examine how gender and sexualities are lived, taught, expressed, understood, and resisted in contemporary Vietnamese society. Moving beyond the dominance of Global North epistemologies that have long shaped scholarship in this field, it centers Vietnamese voices to explore how gender and sexuality issues are discussed and framed pedagogically in Vietnamese social, cultural, pedagogical, and political contexts. Through diverse methodologies ranging from critical ethnography and autoethnography to quantitative research and arts-led scholarship, contributors examine current challenges facing Vietnamese LGBTIQ+ communities and aim to offer essential insights for educators and policymakers working to support gender and sexual diversity. Together, their reflections act as both a crucial intervention in Vietnamese gender studies and a significant contribution to global scholarship on LGBTIQ+ experiences in the Global South.

The book is essential reading for researchers in gender studies, Southeast Asian studies, LGBTIQ+ studies, and comparative education, as well as policymakers and advocates working toward greater inclusion and human rights.
