In this theoretical critique and brief systematic literature review, I connect Third Space theory back to its postcolonial roots and attribute the Scholars of Color who created the theory. I unpack the theory's original intent and critique research written by white teacher educators who whitewashed the theory. To accomplish this goal, I compiled the ten most cited articles on Third Space in teacher education research in a brief, focused review of the literature. I convey how this whitewashing has also occurred in work on teacher residency programs. I then present potential ways for addressing this whitewashing including means of addressing racism, power, oppression, and politics and highlight recent work on Third Space that has moved this goal forward.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48430,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Teacher Education","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 104786"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
