This article draws together theoretical ideas from studies of space/spatiality and the history of teacher education. These ideas form a theoretical framework through which to analyse the findings from a small-scale ethnographic study of the geographical relocations made by two university schools of education in England. Data collection instruments included documentary analysis, field notes from dedicated observations, pre- and post-relocation questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, again pre- and post-relocation. The findings indicate the ways in which the spaces of teacher education are integral to the historical and contemporary practices, social relations and professional identities found in the field.
