Muslimization – “Othering” Experiences of Students in Academic Teacher Programs

Abstract

This chapter is based on two recent empirical studies and discusses the specific situations and challenges of students with a so-called “migration background” who are participating in teacher training programs. These students of Turkish origin, in particular, face stereotypes for being seen as “Muslims” and “others” (cf. Spivak, 1985) by their supervisors. The focus of this chapter is the extent to which the stereotypical societal discourse on “migrants” as “Muslims” (Spielhaus, 2013) is reflected in the academic field of teacher training programs. We discuss how this discourse negatively affects students and their academic instructors alike. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
