Bringing together an international group of contributors from India, Turkey, Chile, the USA, the UK, Finland and the Netherlands, the book showcases critical, intersectional perspectives that shed light on language as an important lens for understanding and transforming our ecological realities. Through pedagogical, political, artistic and activist approaches, the contributors show that advancing environmental justice and advocating for language justice (can) go hand in hand.The book explores how environmental and language justice intersect in a variety of different contexts such as language classrooms, social activism, arts, policymaking and community- based research. Featuring a variety of genres, including artistic, conceptual, reflective, empirical and pedagogical pieces, the chapters analyse how language and environmental learning co-occur, how language rights and environmental literacy are intertwined and how activism can be strengthened through attention to both language and environmental issues.
