Introduction
I obtained a Ph.D. in Education from Concordia University. I hold an M.A. in English didactics, and a B.A. in Foreign Language teaching offered at Universidad Surcolombiana, in Colombia. My research interests lie in student teachers’ education, development, and becoming, in how the sociocultural intervenes in the construction of teachers, and how the socio-political and contextual factors shape teachers.

The project aimed at discussing perspectives of fragmenting presented by three PhD students. This project was conducted in a doctoral course on interdisciplinary research, and allowed us to discuss a concept from different standpoints, findings ways, bridges, to the borderlines delineated by our experiences.
It is essential to revise how political discourses and the administering of politics, not precisely within the school context but outside as well, interplay with the constitution of teacher subjectivities particularly in countries where education is highly influenced by sociopolitical factors without conscious acknowledgment from teachers. Commonly...
