Abstract
The existing body of research has found that the dichotomous imposition of teacher identity as private and public marginalizes teachers whose specific identity markers do not fulfill the dominant cultural script. Small scale and qualitative in nature, this case study draws upon observation and interview to examine the identities of two White female teachers and the consequences upon student privilege. The first participant, bound by dominant academic expectations, upholds historically inscribed hierarchies of authority, knowledge, and success. The second participant, informed by personal reflection, deconstructs dominant power and academic structures. Analysis suggests that a teacher’s identity construct, either fixed or fluid, directly affects student opportunities to engage in critical reflection and understanding of multiplicity.
