MacKenzie, Alison; Engman, Mel; McGurk, Orla – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022

The hegemonic and homogenising processes of British colonialism continue to reverberate in modern discourses…

Lodge, Wilton George – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2020
The global dominance of the English language has led to intense debates with the emergence of studies of English as a lingua franca.

Abrar-ul-Hassan, Shahid – SAGE Open, 2021
As the institution of university has evolved into a highly diverse educational community, the language of communication (or linguistic capital) in higher education plays a vital role.
