Sanskriti
I am a teacher, PhD student, and a migrant from India, living and learning in Aotearoa-New Zealand. From another perspective, I am the first-generation woman in my family who has the privilege of pursuing the highest educational qualification in a different country. The question I face is, what do I make of this reality?
Migrating as an adult shifted my developing story of ‘who I am’ to ‘who I am, in this place and time.’ As a teacher, I grapple with fulfilling my role and responsibility towards justice and equity within my classroom. As a PhD student, I explore how people of migrant backgrounds, within the field of education, understand their belonging and place in Aotearoa-New Zealand. Specifically, I inquire into the experiences of women teachers of Indian ethnicity within Aotearoa-New Zealand’s primary schools. I am interested in how teachers frame their accountability towards others, how they understand their roles and responsibilities in their multiple communities, and how I could do and write this research in aesthetic, feminist, and relational ways.
So far, this journey has involved revisiting, renewing, receiving, and remembering many forgotten stories. I hope to listen to many others along the way.
