• Resumen

  • Abstract This special issue interrogates the promises and risks of decoloniality in language scholarship. Through critical commentaries and extended conversations, contributors expose how decolonial agendas can be appropriated, depoliticized, or domesticated, while affirming their transformative potential. Collectively, they advocate contextual, historically grounded practices that resist reproducing colonial logics in academic and social life.
