This dissertation is a narrative inquiry designed to de-veil how the minoritization teacher candidates' shoulder in broader society is mirrored and exacerbated by their teacher preparation. The term "veil" was chosen intentionally and harbors a dual meaning. In one sense, to "de-veil" means to look beneath the programmatic surface and rhetoric of teacher education in order to better understand the experiences of teacher candidates of color, queer teacher candidates, teacher candidates from high-poverty backgrounds, and, especially, teacher candidates who embody multiple minoritized identities. In the other sense, "veil" is borrowed from W.E.B. Dubois' conception of a collection of tools used by an oppressive system to clandestinely create and reinforce the oppression of certain populations through the institutions in which they are embedded. To "de-veil" in these terms means to remove teacher education from the toolbox of oppression. With these de-veilings, teacher education is better primed to be recalibrated from the perspectives and discourses of minoritized teacher candidates, eliminating their minoritization in teacher education and better preparing all teacher candidates and teacher educators to include, affirm, and empower diverse ways of knowing and being. Indeed, if a teacher education program claims commitments to inclusion along lines of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and yet teacher candidates who embody those identities feel hurt by the content and pedagogy of the program, the program is not preparing any teacher candidate to honor the pluralism of their school and community. The narratives of research and minoritization in this work foster new debates regarding what is considered rigorous educator preparation and brighten new paths for collaborating with teacher candidates to inform and reform teacher education programming and scholarship.
