"'This book is a stimulating collection of research-based papers... Together the papers form a carefully worked tapestry in which 'place' and 'space', 'boundaries' and 'boundary crossing' are threads that signify both change and continuities in the history and politics shaping the evolving identities of students, teachers and the institution...In the issues it raises and the questions it can provoke this is a book of potential value to every teacher and administrator in higher education...' Mary Scott, English Academy Review "Chapters offer future directions for both research and pedagogy...readers would be foolish to ignore the relevance of this book to fundamental questions about the function and goals of higher education globally" Theresa Lillis, Journal of Sociolinguistics"
