The Politics of Researching Multilingually
This book offers a unique understanding of how researchers’ linguistic resources, and the languages they use in the research process, are often politically and structurally shaped and constrained, with implications for the reliability of the research. The chapters are written by both experienced and novice researchers, who examine how they negotiated the use of their own, and others’, linguistic and communicative resources when undertaking their research in politically-charged, and linguistically and culturally diverse contexts. The contributing authors are either from the Global South, or engaged in work which is contextualised within the Global South; or they face linguistic structural hegemonies in the Global North which challenge their research processes. They utilise diverse theoretical, methodological and disciplinary approaches to produce a collection of engaging and accessible accounts of researching multilingually in their contexts. These accounts will help readers to make theoretically and methodologically informed choices about the political dimensions of languages in their own research when researching multilingually.
When Sorrow Is Joy
From the author: This book began as a memoir of my high school years-1944 to 1947. It was written because I've always been grateful to have been part of a Church Youth Group that empowered me, gave me a sense of purpose. Soon, the book began to develop a thesis: if parents want to help their adolescent children gain confidence and maturity they need to help the child connect with some organized community, be it an orchestra, a chorus, a sport, whatever makes the child want to work at that community's purpose. I believe adolescents need to gain the idea that they are not loners, but successful participants in their chosen community's world.
Reflexivity in Applied Linguistics
This edited collection provides research-informed guidance on how reflexivity may be practised in applied linguistics research. Specifically, we promote reflexivity as an essential hallmark of quality research and argue that doing reflexivity confers greater transparency, methodological rigour, depth, and trustworthiness to our scholarly inquiries. The collection features perspectives from different sub-fields of applied linguistics, including intercultural communication, language education, and multilingualism, and draws on data from a range of settings, including language cafés, classrooms, workplaces, and migration and displacement contexts. Each chapter follows a unified structure: theo...
Sufi Flights
This new translation into English of an inspiring collection of work by 14th-century Turkish poet Yunis Emre offers an affirmation of Emre's mystic Sufism and deep humanism which is as timely today as it was when written.
Turkish Wedding
Anne, being in love with a Turkish man whom she has met while he is studying in the U.S., decides before she marries him to go home to Turkey with him to see if she can live happily in his cultural setting. When they arrive at his home in a backwater city of Turkey, her experiment starts off precariously. The young Turkish man, embarrassed to arrive in his hometown with a woman unmarried, has innocently betrayed her by telling his parents they are married. His Sufi Muslim grandfather becomes her mentor, his rebellious adolescent sister becomes her good friend, his mother rejects her, and the man she loves himself learns more of what she hopes for and needs. The decision to actually make this marriage, however, is not easy, and her final decision emerges based on no reasons she could have anticipated.

Nordenskiöld of Mesa Verde
This comprehensive biography of Gustaf Nordenskiold by Judith and David Reynolds appears 111 years after his death. It is noteworthy in view of his contributions in different fields: mineralogy, crystallography, arctic exploration, anthropology and scientific photography. Previously known primarily in his home country, Sweden, and in the American Southwest, Nordenskiold's life and work has deserved broader attention.The Reynolds have placed the achievements of this young scientist in the context of his family and his cultural background. Tragic developments led serendipitously to his meticulous exploration and exquisite documentation of the Mesa Verde culture. An important base for the Reyno...
