Toward a Multilingual Composition Scholarship: From English Only to a Translingual Norm

Bruce Horner ; Samantha NeCamp ; Christiane Donahue

Abstract

Against the limitations English monolingualism imposes on composition scholarship, as evident in journal submission requirements, frequency of references to non-English medium writing, bibliographical resources, and our own past work, we argue for adopting a translingual approach to languages, disciplines, localities, and research traditions in our scholarship, and propose ways individuals, journals, conferences, and graduate programs might advance composition scholarship toward a translingual norm.
