Educational Agency and Activism in Linguistic Landscape Studies

Who is involved and why in the linguistic landscapes in educational contexts? How are agency and activism reflected in educationscapes? These questions and more are addressed in the contributions in this volume, thus expanding the boundaries of educationscapes through enquiries that focus on linguistic, semiotic and spatial agency and activism.
