Abstract

Using data from my ongoing PhD research, I explore the identity of ESOL lecturers in Scottish colleges from an intersectional perspective, considering different aspects of identity and reflecting on how diversity within the departments impacts the profession, the teachers, and the learners. At the end, I invite people to reflect on the value of diversity and intersectionality in their contexts.
