In this conversation with Yecid Ortega, Dr. Amir Kalan talks about his upcoming book “Sociocultural and Power Relational Dimensions of Multilingual Writing”. Here, Dr. Kalan explains how Western academic writing follows a process of capitalist industrialization of leveling and separating the languages skills as if this were a mechanical system. He suggested several solutions to these mentalities such as restructuring writing classes and some pedagogical practices from creative narrative formation to collaborative and identity writing while paying attention to multimodal forms of assessment.
