"Ecolinguistics: Voices from the Global South" Call for Chapters

CALL FOR CHAPTERS

"Ecolinguistics: Voices from the Global South" will provide a unique viewpoint on how language and ecology meet in the Global South. This book will be a vital resource for anyone interested in the connections between applied linguistics and the natural environment, from questions of decolonization and the promotion of Southern epistemologies to the practical applications of ecolinguistic research. We are soliciting chapters whose themes may include (but are not limited to): language policy and planning in the Anthropocene, applied linguistics and globalization, Southern epistemologies, ecolinguistic discourse analysis, language and environmental justice, multilingualism and language maintenance, and the linguistics of biocultural diversity conservation. We are particularly interested in promoting Indigenous voices in ecolinguistics.
