The Handbook of Translanguaging
"This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for researchers and educators who want to practice radical ways of knowing that disrupt and undo the classic borders of social science and humanities disciplines, which are rooted in colonial and racializing logics. Advancing ways of securing epistemic justice, this Handbook will be of interest not only to linguists and educators but to anyone who wants to contribute to the building of a more just world" Karen Wells Professor of International Development & Childhood Studies, Birkbeck, University of London “The languages that each of us speaks today is a mesh of linguistic, semiotic and modal mixes. Translanguaging is an important topic because it is what we do. Accordingly, the studies in this new Handbook have practical applications, clearly in educational practice, but also in social, political, and institutional contexts. This collection traces the cutting edge of research and practice in this growing field and sets the agenda for the future.” Shaun Gallagher Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Excellence in Philosophy, University of Memphis Professorial Fellow, SOLA, University of Wollongong “The Handbook, assembling a global interdisciplinary team of leading scholars, is an authoritative publication that presents groundbreaking research on translanguaging and illuminates complementary perspectives on language studies and education towards an ideal of inclusivity and social equity. It is a must-read for students, researchers, educators, and policymakers.” John Chi-Kin Lee President, Chair Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, and Director of Applied Policy Studies and Education Futures, The Education University of Hong Kong “If translanguaging in its initial years was nothing less than decolonial avant la lettre, behold it here in full-fledged maturity. This volume eloquently articulates the need to mark the unmarked and to identify, interrogate and interrupt coloniality in language education.” Lynn Mario T. Menezes de Souza Professor of Language Education, Universidade de São Paulo “This groundbreaking Handbook is a monumental contribution to translanguaging scholarship, offering a decolonial lens that disrupts linguistic hierarchies and challenges the colonial logics of named languages. With its focus on fluid simultaneity and multimodalities, it advances translanguaging beyond pedagogy into the realms of epistemic justice, relationality, and social transformation. Spanning foundational theories, education, and interdisciplinary intersections—including race, gender, disability, digital semiotics, and cognition—this volume redefines the study and practice of language in profound ways. An essential resource for anyone committed to reimagining linguistic diversity as a dynamic and liberatory force.

Organized into three sections, the Handbook clarifies the conceptual and historical underpinnings of translanguaging, examines the role of translanguaging in education, and explores its intersections with digital communication, gender, media studies, and social justice. Detailed chapters consolidate existing research and set the stage for future inquiry, offering the depth and breadth needed to navigate and contribute to this rapidly evolving field. Integrating theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives, The Handbook of Translanguaging: Edited by a team of internationally recognized experts, The Handbook of Translanguaging is an invaluable reference for researchers, educators, and policymakers engaged in bilingualism, multilingual education, and language studies.
