Learning Chinese: Linguistic, Sociocultural, and Narrative Perspectives

We invite submissions that address pressing issues for scholarship and society in locales around the planet, and that pursue conceptual, empirical, and theoretical modes of inquiry suitable to our complex moment. The series foregrounds perspectives that are attuned to the current social and historical age (without being narrowly presentist), that encourage intellectual risk-taking and experimentation with form and genre, that express relevance to public life and language policy around the world, that uplift and honour specific communities of practice, and/or that resist the mere rehearsal and recycling of established positions or received knowledge.

Early career researchers are particularly welcome to propose a project to the series editors, as are scholars from historically marginalized standpoints and from global South and Indigenous knowledge traditions. We will support authors in foregrounding data, concepts, and scholarship in languages beyond English.
