To language differently

Abstract

Abstract This article explores the synergies between translanguaging and feminist poststructuralism to deepen understandings of how educators can teach for justice. I highlight how both theories challenge dominant structures and boundaries; how they privilege process over product; and how they both illuminate non-dominant voices and experiences. I explore how both translanguaging and feminist poststructuralism have helped me challenge foundational epistemologies, ontologies, and methodologies as a teacher educator in the field of teaching English. Throughout this article I examine what taking up these theories to challenge and question the status quo means for how we might better engage language as a tool for justice.
