Toward Nonbinary Theories of Practice in Teacher Education Research
Kavanagh, Sarah Schneider
Educational Researcher, v51 n1 p66-71 Jan-Feb 2022
This essay argues that contemporary debates about the role of practice in teacher education run the risk of reproducing mind/body, thought/action dualisms. Absent these binaries, practice is understood as always theoretical, principled, and contextualized and knowledge and identity are understood as always embodied and enacted. The author discusses nonbinary theories of practice and their application in teacher education scholarship within both historical and political contexts. The essay argues that the practice turn in teacher education might be leveraged to enhance the field's intersectional imagination and to eschew the polarities and linearities the field has inherited from Western enlightenment philosophy.
