This seminar is designed to assist doctoral students in the analysis of their research antecedents in terms of the status quaestionis and the theoretical framework to identify possible gaps and understand how similar works have problematized subjectivity in language teacher education. Participants are expected to trace back what has been told/untold about subject constitution in second language teacher education. In doing so, a critical review must be conducted within a philosophical and educational dialogue to trace the relationships between research approaches and colonial practices to better co-construct the status quaestionis of the research emphasis.
