Epílogo: Contexto, Convergencia y Colaboración en la Investigación en Educación Bi-/multilingüe

Abstract

At a time when debates over language, equity, and education are especially pressing, this special issue brings together a crucial set of perspectives on bi-/multilingual education. Through its comparative scope, spanning South America, Europe, Asia, and North America, the issue showcases the diversity of complex, multilingual experiences while also underscoring challenges that are common across contexts. Collectively, the contributions demonstrate how deeply language education is intertwined with questions of ideology, history, equity, and social justice.
