ABSTRACT
The overarching issue raised in this chapter relates to making visible the naturalization of Northern or North-centric hegemonies in higher educational settings broadly, including the scholarship curated there. First, I call for the need to RE-visit how language is conceptualized in general and in HE, and second, I contribute to RE-centering the mainstream stance that continues to marginalize scholarly explorations where social practices are center-staged. While this agenda strives towards a solidarity vision for a future academy that builds upon epistemic justice, a caveat here is our own academic trajectories in terms of the ontological and epistemological stances we are dialoguing with, and what vocabularies we have been nurtured to engage with in those trajectories.
