Abstract

This case is centered on the term advocacy, the act of speaking on behalf of someone else. In this particular case, the author has chosen to highlight how an advocate is chosen based on perceived characteristics. The author has chosen to unpack the term positionality, which is defined as “The creation of the opposites by an arbitrary point of view”. However, it is the author's goal in this unpacking of positionality to surface chards of what a preservice teacher and professor perceive themselves to be to each other in terms of needs and wants.
