Diversifying family language policy is an edited collection of studies of multilingual family policy, a line of inquiry that examines family members’ attitudes towards, planning for, and use of language(s) in the home (King & Fogle, 2006; King, Fogle, & Logan-Terry, 2008). The volume expands this field by representing diverse family types and unexplored contexts of multilingual childrearing to demonstrate a wider array of contexts for understanding language maintenance and shift. 

Editors Lyn Wright and Christina Higgins are currently seeking proposals for chapters in an edited volume to be published by Bloomsbury that expand FLP lines of inquiry by investigating language practices and ideologies in families that have heretofore been under-researched in the field, including single-parent, LGBTQ-identified families, families with "new speakers," diasporic families in rural communities and communities where other speakers are few in number, migrant marriage families, and other "unconventional" family constellations. By expanding the full scope of families in research on FLP in diverse contexts, the book seeks to better understand how the make-up of contemporary families influences FLP processes. 

Abstracts due: August 1, 2019
