The Dialogical Self in Education: Introduction

This is a special section on the dialogical self in education. In this introduction, I summarize the main tenets and concepts of dialogical self theory (DST) as a basis of the different articles of this issue. Then I introduce the different articles in the context of the theory. The contributions give special attention to what happens in the minds of individuals—teachers, students, and training participants—when they participate in educational settings that affect and address the intimacies of their personal selves.
