Summary
Diane Dagenais highlights her parents' resistance to linguistic assimilation and her own path between alternating and mixing languages. She quickly became aware of the boundaries between languages and of artificial and oppressive school policies. Her research has led her to explore children's linguistic practices, stereotypical representations, and to fight against social inequalities by supporting multilingual pedagogies against unfair and oppressive practices.
