■ Profile

Suzanne Quay is a Professor at International Christian University in Tokyo, Japan, specializing in child language and multilingualism. She is the co-editor with Simona Montanari of Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Multilingualism: The Fundamentals, published October 2019 by De Gruyter and the co-author with Margaret Deuchar of Bilingual Acquisition: Theoretical Implications of a Case Study, published by Oxford University Press in 2000. She was the guest editor in 2011 of ‘Trilingual Children in the Making: Data-driven insights’ for the International Journal of Multilingualism (IJM) and has also published in journals such as First Language, Journal of Child Language, International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, and Deafness and Education International (DEI). She is currently on the Editorial Boards of IJM and the Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, and formerly of DEI (from 1999 to 2018), reflecting an interest in multilingualism in both hearing and deaf communities. Her teaching, which covers a wide range of courses in bilingualism, linguistics and language education, complements her interests in family language policies, translanguaging practices and multilingualism across the lifespan.
