The voices in this book raise questions about the relationalities and entanglements of applied linguists in a troubled world. They are the personal stories that are sometimes hidden behind and within more conventional teaching, research and scholarship, however iconoclastic and unconventional the endeavors themselves. Injustice runs through and across the chapters, connecting one with another but also highlighting differences. The stories in this book describe or picture anxieties, fears, veils, exclusion, erasures, microaggressions, racism and patriarchy, together with the painful double-binds and pitfalls experienced in applied linguistic fieldwork and teaching. By sharing their stories, the authors attempt to embody the changes called into being through their applied linguistics teaching and fieldwork.
