In this article, the authors consider the difficulties that a group of internationally educated female teachers (female IETs) encountered in the process of seeking certification in the Canadian Maritimes.
The authors read their experiences in the context of neoliberalism, in particular how they are positioned in the labour force and also the teaching profession.
The authors consider the material effects of differences such as gender, race, ethnicity, language, and regional location for the female IETs.
