I’ve worked in intercultural education for a long time, first in English language teaching and then in intercultural education more broadly. A few years ago, I started thinking about the issues of decolonising scholarship and educational ‘inclusion’in more meaningful ways than is currently done in ‘the industry’, a critique I put forward in Chapter 1. Originally, I’d planned to write about these ideas in a sole-authored book, discussing this and that in a scholarly, essay-like way.(Very comfortable. Much coffee. Cats napping on my desk.) But then three things happened to shift my direction, with the result that I’ve now had the considerable privilege of working with some incredibly sharp emerging scholars in the process of putting together this edited book. What changed? Well, first, I saw Nanette, Hannah Gadsby’s (2018) paradigm-changing Netflix show (reader: if you haven’t seen it, please stop reading and go watch it. Seriously, go now. I’ll wait). Gadsby makes a powerful critique of Picasso’s cubism. Yes, he broke ground by showing myriad perspectives. But they were all his own perspectives. Such hubris. And I realised that this was what a monograph would have done in this space, too. The world doesn’t need more of that.
