This book explores the ways in which transcultural pedagogies can support learning and literacies in critical, creative and socially just ways, highlighting research initiatives from across the globe. Each chapter provides a different and innovative perspective with respect to reimagining language and literacy pedagogies in conjunction with students’ diverse literacies and resources. Presenting a collection of classroom and community-based research, the book addresses the intersections of plurilingualism, identity and transcultural awareness in various contexts, including schools, universities, as well as local and Indigenous communities. These settings have been deliberately chosen to profile the range of research in the field, showcasing transcultural, plurilingual, translanguaging and community-engaged pedagogies, among others.

Linguistic and cultural diversity are a global reality. The editors and authors of this volume make an important and original contribution to share knowledge about ways to improve education in diversity contexts. The contributions cover a wide range of topics: from commitment to revitalising the languages of autochthonous minorities, preserving the languages of immigrants to the use of new media and artistic encounters as teaching tools.
