Why equal language? When I launched my site in 2013, I was editing and publishing bilingual children’s books in many languages; directing a literature series for adults translated from Turkish into English; advocating for more translated literature from world languages into English to counter the unequal global flow dominated by works originally written in English; and I was teaching adult literacy while examining the power dynamics of language, particularly of dominant forms of English. Language and literature are vital sites of struggle for equality and equity, and I remain anchored in this work.
