Dr P茅rez-Milans won the award for 鈥楾he Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning鈥� which he edited with Professor James Tollefson (University of Washington). He received the prize at the BAAL鈥檚 annual conference in Manchester.

The book covers a history of language policy and planning (LPP) and explores directions for future research. It covers different LPP frameworks from historical, ethical and socio-economic angles.聽Split into four sections, the book covers a diverse range of topics including language tests and policy, nationalism, globalisation and social media, among others.

IOE academics Dr Miguel P茅rez-Milans, Dr Alfonso Del Percio and Professor Li Wei all contributed chapters to the book.

The theme of the 2019 BAAL conference was 鈥楤roadening the Horizons of Applied Linguistics鈥�. It explored the role that applied linguistics plays in many walks of life.

Dr Miguel P茅rez-Milans, said: 鈥淭he book aimed from the outset to do much more than providing an overview to the field of language policy and planning (LPP).聽

鈥淚t traces some of the key historical, socioeconomic and political junctures since the advent of modern nationalism with an eye to the ways in which nation-states have (re)imagined and exerted control over practices and ideas concerned with language, culture and community.聽

鈥淚n so doing, the volume examines the role that LPP has played as an academic field in the (re)constitution of this ideological framework, and offers new directions for future research interested in understanding how such ideas shift and get re-articulated under the conditions of late capitalism and the new forms of inequality that come with it鈥�.
