The present study, framed from a critical and transformative approach to teacher education, aims to investigate whether language portraits (Prasad, 2010)--the mapping of one's language and cultural make-up on a body template--can help improve student teachers' self-understanding about language and identities and can foster critical reflection…

Burleigh, Dawn; Burm, Sarah – in education, 2013
MacIntyre (1981) asks, "Of what stories do I find myself a part?" (p. 201). As teachers working in an Indigenous context, we found ourselves telling stories that had moments of tension between our Eurocentric ways of knowing and the Indigenous context in which we taught. This intersection has prompted our research. We ask two questions…

Den Heyer, Kent; Abbott, Laurence – Curriculum Inquiry, 2011
A key challenge confronting teacher educators is to help their students identify perspectives that depart from dominant historical narratives of a nation-state's development so as to potentially derive alternative meanings of shared pasts from marginalized perspectives. In this article, we examine the nature of this challenge both as a theoretical…
