About the Author
Kylie Martin is currently an Associate Professor in the Research Faculty of Media and Communication at Hokkaido University, Japan. She has taught at a number of universities in Australia and Japan over the past ten years, including the University of Melbourne, Monash University, Deakin University, Hosei University and Hokkaido University. Her teaching has been based in the areas of Sociolinguistics and English for Academic Purposes with a focus on intercultural communication, World Englishes, second language acquisition, language and identity, and Indigenous language revitalisation. Kylie's research interests focus on the influences of globalisation processes on the functions and values of Indigenous languages within urban multilingual places. Her Ph.D. research examines the relationship between the Ainu language and identity maintenance within the Indigenous Ainu diaspora community in the Kanto region of Japan. She is currently researching the use of different multimodal resources in the performance art of Ainu artists to identify new and creative ways of Ainu language practice as part of the Ainu revitalisation movement.
Howard Manns is lecturer in Linguistics at Monash University where he serves on the Executive Committee of the Language and Society Centre. Before working at Monash, Howard worked as a specialist in Iranian languages and cultures for the US Navy, taught English in Indonesia and lived, travelled and/or worked in more than sixty countries on six of the world's seven continents. Howard wrote his Ph.D. (Monash University) on linguistic and social change on the island of Java. He has focused on Indonesia since 2003, but also works with other sociolinguistic communities, including the Deaf Blind community of Melbourne. Howard has a B.A. in linguistics (University of Pittsburgh) as well as a TESOL certification. He was the 2012 winner of the Michael Clyne Prize for Outstanding Research on Language and Society. Howard's contribution to this book emerges from his undergraduate units Managing Intercultural Communication and Sociolinguistics, his postgraduate units Language in Society and World Englishes, and various postgraduate supervisions.
