This book is a must-read for everyone interested in how cultural, economic, social, policy, and political contexts shape teachers' work. Highly original, meticulously researched, and compelling, Constructing Teacher Identities offers a brilliant analysis of representations of teachers in the media over time, using the Australian print media as a focus. --Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Cawthorne Professor of Teacher Education, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Boston College, USA Nicole Mockler has undertaken a detailed and systematic analysis of the printed news media coverage of teachers over the period from 1996-2020. The study reveals numerous insights into the ways that a range of newspapers represent teachers, not only in Australia, which is her main focus, but also elsewhere in the world. This is a breathtaking achievement, which sheds startling new light on the ways in which teachers are depicted by different parts of the press establishment. --Ian Menter, Emeritus Professor of Teacher Education, University of Oxford, UK Nicole Mockler's incisive and rigorous analysis highlights the critical importance of disentangling our sense-making about the teaching profession from media and political discourse that would have us place policy failures at its feet - a must-read by one of Australia's most talented education scholars in a generation. --Sue Saltmarsh, Professor, Department of Early Childhood Education, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
