Source: Teaching and Teacher Education, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2008, Pages 216-224

This paper describes how diversity study circles can be integrated as integral to education that is multicultural in the development of preservice teachers’ critical self-reflection as a bridge to developing a critical lens for classroom practice and a democratic society.
