Wen Xu – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2024
The "boy turn" in research on gender and education has sought to understand how social practices and schooling contribute to the process of orientation to particular identities.

Brandon J. Sherman; Annela Teemant – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
Language teacher learning and professional identity can be understood as intertwined. Radical changes in practice entail changes in how teachers understand themselves. Thus, narratives of identity should be considered a significant concern of professional learning. Employing a narrative conception of identity, we argue that narrative identity work…

Lisa M. Domke – Reading Teacher, 2024
Because dual-language books (DLBs) print the entire text in two languages nearby on the page, they have great potential for supporting children's biliteracy development by providing contexts to compare/contrast languages. However, little is known about how children read DLBs independently and how they may/may not use such characteristics to…

Catalina Iliescu-Gheorghiu – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2024
Intercultural studies have underexplored the issue of children's theatre as a tool for symbolic representations of (new, hybrid) identities.

Md. Saiful Alam; Adelina Asmawi – Review of Education, 2023
The scarcity of teachers worldwide has led to educators teaching multiple subjects outside their area of expertise. This challenge of teaching out-of-field or multi-subject instruction raises the need for (re)constructing the identity of multi-subject generalist teachers (M-SGTs). However, the matter has received little attention in current…

Gonzalo Pérez Andrade; Hannah M. King – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2024
Despite their diversity, UK school pupils with non-English home languages are uniformly labelled English as an additional language (EAL), presupposing linguistic deficiencies and academic challenges; thus, equating multilingualism with vulnerability. As part of a researcher-practitioner collaboration with a London primary school, we explore how…
