Overview
Readings in Language Studies, Volume 7: Intersections of Peace and Language Studies features international contributions that represent state-of-the-field reviews, multi-disciplinary perspectives, theory-driven syntheses of current scholarship, reports of new empirical research, reflections on pedagogical practices, and critical discussions of major topics centered on the intersection of language studies and peace. Consistent with the mission of ISLS, the collection of 13 chapters in this volume seeks to ""bridge these arbitrary disciplinary territories and provide a forum for both theoretical and empirical research, from existing and emergent research methodologies, for exploring the relationships among language, power, discourses, and social practices.""

Reviews
With this volume, the International Society for Language Studies provides rich fodder for critical inquiry--gathering authors working from an impressively far-flung range of contexts and identities, weaving together an intricate multiplicity of disciplinary lenses--all put into meaningful and lucid conversation around the interconnections of peace and conflict, language, knowledge-making, and power. Suhanthie Motha, Ph.D. Associate Professor English Department University of Washington In a period of increasing global crisis, Intersections of Peace and Language Studies is a timely and important volume that brings to the fore the critical work of activist language educators around the globe in promoting peace. The book sends a clear message to teachers, teacher educators, as well as curriculum and policy makers, and points us toward re-envisioning our work as revolutionary, committed to ending oppression in all its manifestations and embracing world peace.
