The AI Rush
Every time I open the Google search engine, the ever present AI machine is ready with suggestions - reading, accumulating, categorizing the information for me. Did I ask for it? No!

Should I Continue to Teach English? Conflicting Subjectivities of a Racialized Teacher
This autoethnography explores the politics of place, the impact of colonization on my linguistic identity as a racialized English language teacher, and the intersection of race and racism in the professional sphere for non-native English teachers (NNES). I analyze my lived experiences through theoretical lenses that inform research on race, teacher identity, teacher education, and English language teaching. I conclude by sharing my reflections/views on how marginalized teachers can resist hegemony in the professional sphere and reappropriate their racial and professional identities.
