Introduction: Innovative paths in researching multilingual literacy development

Abstract

Abstract In this introductory chapter to the volume, Innovative Qualitative Methodologies in Multilingual Literacy Development Research: Amplifying Voices from Immigrant, Transnational, and Refugee Communities , we situate the key aims of the collection in the context of conceptual innovations in multilingualism, literacy, and equity. To unlock the full potential of these recent developments, innovative rethinking of methodological approaches is needed to keep pushing the boundaries of our understanding of multilingual literacy development and to further our ethical commitments to humanizing research. We describe selected recent empirical studies in which qualitative literacy researchers have begun to “rethink” data, theory, and positionality in their work before presenting an overview of the contributions in this volume.
