This book explores the idea that English in the multilingual university is filled with and surrounded by tensions. Drawing on Bakhtin's theory and examples from Sweden, it offers the reader a novel way of tracing the links between language perceptions and practices on the ground, and the forces and processes which govern these practices.

Maria Kuteeva is Professor of English Linguistics at Stockholm University, Sweden. She is lead editor of Language Perceptions and Practices in Multilingual Universities (with K. Kaufhold and N. Hynninen, 2020, Palgrave McMillan).
