Like with many lengthy commitments, you never quite know what is expected of you when you agree to edit a book. The making of this one was special to us because many of the people who contributed to it were our institutional colleagues or friends, and all of them have or had ties to our university. A locally rooted long-term project bears certain risks but also many opportunities, including the possibilities to meet (unless there is a pandemic) and talk through, over a hot beverage or meal, the dense literature we delved into, the nonlinearity of writing processes, or the struggles and joys of unlearning. To all of you, who offered your work to this volume, engaged in the meetings, reflections, discussions, and revisions: We know this was not an easy process nor is new materialism an easily digestible topic (at least to us). Kiitos kun jaksoitte! Kiitos kärsivällisyydestä, sinnikkyydestä, huumorista, inspiraatiosta, roh¬keudesta, uteliaisuudesta ja solidaarisuudesta!
When Applied Language Studies received funding through the profiling initia¬tive RECLAS (Research Collegium for Language in Changing Society), a lot of possible scenarios opened up for using this money and shaping the direction of the field. Co-directors Anne Pitkänen-Huhta and Tarja Nikula decided to put a lot of resources and trust in ideas that could be something (or not). This book is a result of this funding and this trust. Kiitos RECLAS!
We thank our editors at Springer, who guided us through the process with empa¬thy and expertise. Although we would at times have preferred to stick with the same person for a bit longer, each of them made their own important contributions to this book becoming real, and with each editor change, we found a more compelling way to narrate the book into existence. Thank you, Helen van der Stelt, Natalie Rieborn, Evelien Bakker, Anita van der Linden-Rachmat and Aarthi Padmanaban, for all your work at different stages of the process, as well as Sugapriya Jaganathan from Straive for the final production steps. We also thank Francis M. Hult, who did not see the book as a good fit for Springer’s Educational Linguistics series but had valu¬able and appreciative comments about our first draft. In retrospect, this gave us the productive limbo we needed to complete it. Thank you to our reviewers, whose comments brisked up our thinking and writing. Thank you Sofia Kotilainen for the careful and thoughtful editing of the manuscript. You did so much work in so lit¬tle time!
It is our fundamental belief that academic work should be easily and freely accessible. Our gratitude goes to the units and people at the University of Jyväskylä who made it possible to publish this volume open access: The Finnish Institute for Educational Research, the profiling initiative MultiILEAP (Multiliteracies for social participation and in learning across the life span), the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Open Science Centre.
We have produced a considerable amount of academic work together, but this one has been our longest and most time-intensive piece to date. A large part of thinking through the topic, literature, chapters, feedback, and production happened over the phone, while walking our dogs. We therefore dedicate this book to Janosch, Kaisla, Lars, Etti, Harri, and Itta, who, together, know the whole story.
