Abstract

The purpose of this study was to listen to stories of male sessional instructors/ contract lecturers who teach pre-service teachers after leaving full time work with their former school boards. My previous research focused on the lived experiences of male elementary teachers, and the experiences of boys in school. Now I am teaching at the university, and I am thinking about how my colleagues and I experience instructing adults after working in schools. I set out to explore the influence of the workplace context on our identities.
