Abstract

This chapter uses an epistemological framework rooted in feminism, post-colonialism, and deconstruction to situate discussions of how knowledge is created, and how collaborative knowledge creation extends our understanding of the shifting and inter-connected cultural, social, and language realities that we experience in our lives. The authors show that these collaborative efforts construct meaning, expand meaning, and change previously accepted meaning. They show how they interrogate the normalization of this discipline, how they address the need for continuously re-examining and re-thinking approaches to translingual and transcultural collaboration as a way to construct new meaning, and how collaborative work continues to address and redefine the norms and realities of the dominant academic culture so that our contributions can lead to much-needed change in how we understand our roles as participants and stakeholders in translingual and transcultural collaborations.
