"Are you our teacher?": The voice of the school student during initial teacher education
Join this event to hear Elizabeth O'Brien explore how student voices might be recognised and described in an everyday sense as initiative, and as ordinarily significant to the student teacher during initial teacher education.

Drawing on the writing of Stanley Cavell on the figure of the friend, Elizabeth will talk about how the voice of the school student is a neglected factor in the education of educators.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for those interested in teacher training, the philosophy of education and student voices.
