- Linda Gardelle is maître de conférence HDR (Reader) in Educational Sciences at the École Nationale Supérieure des Techniques Avancées (ENSTA Bretagne) in France.

Camille Jacob is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Portsmouth, working on discourses and practices of English in Algeria and Mauritania. She is particularly interested in how the politics of language at the global level interact with local and national understandings of decolonisation, identities, security and "development" in countries historically considered as "French-speaking".
