This rich collection interrogates what happens to teacher learners when they are faced with racialization, power and privilege in their international practicum experiences. It reminds us that transformational encounters are those that begin with a disruption of who we think we are and where we belong. Starting from this frame, new possibilities for deep learning can emerge. --Maggie Kubanyiova, Professor of Language Education, University of Leeds, UK If you are looking for an anthology that brings together a powerful set of essays by leading theorists of race, identity struggles, power, and privilege in education, under the new and exciting Disruptive Learning Narrative Framework, this is it!
