N2 - As clearly articulated in the introductory chapter, the aftermath of the legacies of material and symbolic colonization have inflicted long-lasting wounds that, over time, have become chronic diseases. Many of these wounds have naturalized into one-size-fits-all curricula, standardized pedagogies, and deficit-based discourses that frame learners and teachers – particularly those from racialized, Indigenous, migrant, and linguistically diverse backgrounds – as perpetually lacking. These inherited structures, often invisible to those who benefit from them, continue to shape the emotional experiences, identity possibilities, and wellbeing of learners and educators within English language education.
