The self-inquiries in this edited volume exemplify the dynamism that permeates global ELT, wherein English language educators and teacher educators are increasingly operating across blurred national boundaries, creating new liminal spaces, charting new trajectories, crafting new practices and pedagogies, constructing new identities, and reconceptualizing ELT contexts. This book captures the diverse voices of emerging and established ELT practitioners and scholars, originally from and/or operating in non-Western contexts, spanning not only the so-called non-Western peripheries, but also peripheries created within the center when certain members are minoritized on the basis of their race, language, and/or place of origin. The chapters address a range of related issues occurring at the intersections of personal and professional identities, pedagogy and classroom interactions, as well as research and professional practices in liminal transnational spaces.

The diverse authors in this important collection provide convincing evidence of the mutually supportive relationship between practice, research, and theory in the field of language learning and teaching. By making visible the contribution of practitioners to transnational English language teaching, the authors democratize the production of knowledge and shift relations of power in the field. Highly compelling and long overdue! * Bonny Norton, University of British Columbia, Canada * This book offers a stunning collection of studies by transnational pracademics inquiring into their trans identities and practices. After being deftly introduced and theorized, the personal stories, illustrating a range of innovative research methodologies, present accounts that are informative, interesting, sometimes touching, and very readable. Another outstanding contribution by these editors. * Gary Barkhuizen, University of Auckland, New Zealand * I found this edited volume to be compelling not only in terms of its magical storytelling about the journeys of transnational scholars in ELT, but also its invitation to deeply learn and engage with cutting-edge theorization around transnationalism. This is a timely book that asks us to imagine different possibilities of a future where the trans- in ELT is at the center of the discipline. * Manka Varghese, University of Washington, USA *
