Current research in teacher education has turned a gaze toward recruiting students of color into teacher preparation programs. Yet teacher education programs fail to deconstruct the intersectional racial grammar of teacher education to provide meaningful learning experiences for preservice teachers of color, who often endeavor to teach in the very…

One area that needs increased and immediate attention is how we recruit, prepare, and retain teachers of color. This book asks: Why do teachers of color choose teaching?

Religious minority schools are seen to take on the task of transmitting the normative image of a community, its ideology and culture. Through pedagogy and daily routine practices, schools seek to shape students' ideas of a religion and ways in which it is to be performed. This paper, based on ethnography of a Sikh school in Delhi, explores such…
