This book begins with the idea that English in the multilingual
university is filled with and surrounded by tensions, from the
renegotiation and bending of language norms to the emotional strain
of increasing use of English. It explores how these tensions are
experienced by those who find themselves in multilingual university
settings outside the anglophone world and use English in their
research or education. The author examines the use of English in
multiple domains in Swedish universities, progressing from macro
perspectives on language policies to in-depth qualitative studies
of individuals. The book presents both a synthesis of recent
scholarship on the use of language in multilingual universities and
the author's own empirical findings, which are situated in a
theoretical framework based on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin. The
book 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.
