“…The university, which sustains a Eurocentric system, is reimagined as a pluriversity to enable "knowledge production that is open to epistemic diversity" [22] (p. 19). During this counter process, formerly marginalized individuals and groups can begin to reimagine "I" as an epistemological [15] and dialogic agent [23] to both create and communicate new knowledge [24].…”

Many scholars have portrayed technological advances as conducive to English language teaching and learning, without questioning their possible colonial assumptions about languages and literacies. Drawing on critical pedagogy and Global South epistemologies, I reconceptualize decolonization as a humanizing project in the contact zones between English and non-English languages. This poetic autoethnography, informed by my memories of my own experience as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learner in China, alongside a wide range of artifacts from a senior seminar course in an international college in a Thai private university, illustrates how educational technologies can be decolonized by producing (and publishing) emergent translanguaging literature that repositions teachers and students from marginalized backgrounds as co-creators of new knowledge about languages and literacies in the global context.

“…In the pursuit of a linguistics that is liberatory (Charity Hudley & Flores, 2022), researchers will need to rethink not only of whom we ask our research questions (e.g. making our research populations more diverse and representative), but also how we conduct ourselves in our work; that is, researchers must critically examine institutional templates for “ethical” research in order to more purposely decolonize the discipline (Egido & De Costa, 2022).…”

This article addresses the ethical question concerning how educational research helps immigrant teachers gain authority and ownership over their self-understanding and self-becoming. By critically examining prior research and analysing the dominant discourse surrounding this specific group, we highlight the limitations and ethical implications of existing findings. We problematise current methodological approaches ito advocate for the necessity of counter-narratives. By empowering immigrant teachers to ‘author(w)rite’ their own accounts, this form of authorship broadens scholarly discourse, allowing them to pursue self-understanding and assert agency over their narratives. To illustrate our contention, we present our counter-narratives in the form of satirical poetry within boxed texts, highlighting the need to expand and complicate conventional research practices. Through subversive discourse, we emphasise more empowering methodologies in the ethical interpretation and representation of immigrant teacher participants. We suggest that counter-narratives offer an alternative lens through which to examine the lived realities and emotions of immigrant teachers, ultimately enriching scholarly discussions and fostering a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of their humanity.
