    The Ideological Becoming of International Graduate Assistants in A United States University
    (Universidad de Zaragoza, Asociación Universitaria de Formación del Profesorado (AUFOP), 2012) Gómez, Mary Louise; Johnson Lachuk, Amy Suzanne
    This paper draws on a Bakhtinian theoretical framework to trace the ideological becoming—or development of ways of viewing the world and their place in it—of international graduate assistants working in a Midwestern United States teacher education program. Ideological selves are developed when persons negotiate available resources in their environment—people, discourses and contexts. We interrogated the experiences and outcomes of these for international graduate assistants as they negotiated challenging teaching contexts and made future career plans.
