Abstract:Many educators living near the United States and Mexico border were transfronterizo students—young people with familial and institutional ties to both countries, who crossed the border each day to attend United States schools. This study is concerned with how these teachers’ identities formed within distinct sociocultural contexts like the Borderlands and how this can serve education institutions invested in teacher identity work.
