Janine Rose, Zhaozhe Wang, and Mark Blaauw-Hara published a textbook chapter called “Students’ Languages Matter: Translingualism and Critical Language Awareness” in the 2025 edition of Thinking About Writing. The chapter highlights how translingualism and critical language awareness can help students draw on their full linguistic repertoires in academic writing, challenging monolingual norms and fostering more inclusive, empowering literacy practices.

Individual Projects
Oguzhan Tekin is studying intergroup attitudes and contact between international students and the host community. The project explores mutual attitudes, perception of threat in multiple dimensions, and the quality and quantity of contact between international students in English-medium universities and the francophone host community in Montreal. This research has yielded two manuscripts: one published in Frontiers in Psychology in 2024 and another now under review for Comparative and International Education journal.
Zhaozhe Wang’s recent book, Doing Difference Differently: Chinese International Students’ Literacy Practices and Affordances, ethnographically documents the multifaceted everyday literate activities of Chinese international students — challenging the myth of linguistic and cultural differences reified in institutional discourses of diversity.
