Author Biography

Claire Desrochers, Centre for Research for Teacher Education & Development, University of Alberta

Claire Desrochers is an Adjuct Professor at the Centre for Research for Teacher Education and Development, University of Alberta.

Her interest in shaping educative spaces for pre-service teachers to learn about themselves in relation with diversity is grounded in her narratives of experience as a mother, teacher and teacher educator. Following her doctoral work entitled Towards a new borderland in teacher education for diversity: A narrative inquiry into pre-service teachers’ shifting identities through service learning (2006), she was co-researcher in a narrative inquiry into the experiences of youth who left school early, published in 2013 as Composing Lives in Transition: A Narrative Inquiry into the Experiences of Early School Leavers. She currently works alongside graduate students as an adjunct professor in the Centre for Research for Teacher Education and Development (CRTED) at the University of Alberta.
