Summary

Francis Bangou chose to fight social injustice by advocating for the empowerment of marginalized groups of learners. His social and academic background, formed from geographical and institutional patchworks of language norms and habits, has led him to reject binary explanations, such as nature versus nurture and speaker versus language, in order  “to recognize that speaker, language, and matter are perpetually becoming other in creative relational and ever changing entanglements.”
