Sierra (Eds.), Motivation and foreign language learning: From theory to practice (9-29). Amsterdam: John Benjamins. https://doi.org/10.1075/lllt.40.01dor

In this chapter, we introduce a novel psychological construct whose key aspects are well-established in major motivation theories. A Directed Motivational Current (DMC) is a conceptual framework which depicts unique periods of intensive motivational...

A face in the crowd: imagining individual and collective disabled identities in contemporary China (2014)
Journal Article
Dauncey, S. (2014). A face in the crowd: imagining individual and collective disabled identities in contemporary China. Modern Chinese Literature and Culture, 25(2),

This essay explores the concept of a “disabled crowd” in the Chinese cultural and social imagination. It highlights key terms, analogies, and cultural locations of disability that are seen to relate to and inform group identity and collective behavio...

The growing literature on international migration has a tendency to emphasize homogenous elements such as shared ethnic background, social network and cultural similarities in shaping immigrants' identity. We argue that this underestimates the differ... Read More about Bringing class back in: class consciousness and solidarity among Chinese migrant workers in Italy and the UK.
