A propos de l'auteur
Louisa Buckingham lectures in applied linguistics at the University of Auckland. She has a multi-disciplinary background, blending applied linguistics with the social sciences. Her research and teaching draw epistemologies typical of both disciplines and, where possible, she includes transdisciplinary components in course assessments. She is currently working on interdisciplinary projects related to ethnolinguistic diversity, and is collaborating with Jihua Dong on bibliometric projects.
Jihua Dong is Professor, Qilu Young Scholar, and Taishan Young Scholar in the School of Foreign Languages and Literature at Shandong University, China, where she teaches students from a wide range of disciplines. She has been involved in interdisciplinary research projects that merge applied linguistics with computer science and bibliometrics. She has also undertaken corpus-based analyses of interdisciplinary academic discourse.
Feng (Kevin) Jiang is Kuang Yaming Distinguished Professor in applied linguistics in the School of Foreign Language Education at Jilin University, China and gained his PhD under the supervision of Professor Ken Hyland at the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. His publications have appeared in most major applied linguistics journals.
