With the impact of accelerated globalization, digital
technologies, mobility, and migration, the fields of Applied
Linguistics, Language, and Intercultural Education have been
shifting. One shift in need of further exploration is that of
systematic and coherent reflexivity in researching language and
culture. This unique and timely book thus examines the
significance of reflexivity as an integral process, particularly
when researching the multifaceted notions of multilingualism and
interculturality in education. It also contributes to current
critical approaches to representations of languages and cultures
in identity politics. As such, the authors offer innovative ways
of engaging with reflexivity in teaching, learning, and research
through multimodal and complex ways. The chapters span a diverse
range of educational settings in Asia, Australia, Europe, and
North America.
