Abstract
In this paper, I draw on poststructural and feminist epistemologies to analyse the
narratives of two student teachers on a primary education degree. Specifically I look
to discuss the competing discourses of the masculine mathematician and the feminine
primary school teacher. The initial purpose of the paper is to deconstruct themes
which are prevalent within mathematical discourse; a further aim is to explore the
representation of narratives within educational texts.
