CILS is a multi-disciplinary peer-reviewed journal published by Taylor & Francis and is the official journal of the International Society of Language Studies (ISLS). CILS focuses on critical discourse and research on language studies, which overlaps fields of applied linguistics, language policy, modern languages and literatures, education, anthropology, sociology, history, political science, psychology, and cultural studies (including related fields such as law, media, and information technology).
Working with a vibrant Editorial Board of renowned scholars that span the globe (e.g., Alastair Pennycook, Allan Luke, Aneta Pavlenko, Angel Lin, Donaldo Macedo, Elana Shohamy, Guadalupe Valdés, James Cummins, Michael Apple, Teun A. van Dijk), CILS’s new team of Editors includes Dr. Chang and Saska Van Viegen (York University, Canada), Michelle Mingyue Gu (Education University of Hong Kong), and Sunny Lau (Bishop’s University, Canada).
