This well constructed collection of studies sheds valuable light on an under-researched area by investigating translanguaging in higher education contexts. Combining advocacy and exploration, it provides both a critique of the prevailing monolingual habitus of universities and important insights into what adopting translanguaging can achieve in higher education.
