Book excerpt: As the founding director of the National Heritage Language Resource Center and the Heritage Language Journal, Olga Kagan has been a core figure in the development of the field of heritage language studies. By promoting both the creation of a foundational research base and specialized pedagogical training, she has played a seminal role in establishing effective methodologies that address the specific needs of heritage language learners.

Following the model of her work, the editors aim to create bridges between pedagogical and linguistic research, and between researchers and practitioners.
