Wed, April 17, 1:30 to 3:00pm, Hyatt Regency, Floor: Bay (Level 1), Bayview A

Group Submission Type: Refereed Round-Table Session

Proposal

Attending to the fluidity of identity and notions of cultural logic, this session delves into how teacher identities continually evolve and are impacted by societal and contextual factors. The presenters critically consider the ways in which teachers, including themselves, have negotiated socio-cultural norms and practices in the U.S., South Korea, and China. As teachers are impacted by local, national, and global influences, this session will highlight the agency teachers have to effect change in a multidirectional manner and how cultural logic and epistemologies shape teaching practice.
