As a Turkish Muslim White woman teaching in Western Canada, the author relates how she struggled to convey to her students how these identities come together, and how they facilitate a pedagogy of anti-oppression in her practice. To disrupt Orientalist assumptions or stereotypes about Muslim women, the author relates that she developed the following teaching principles: (1) the principle of self-focus; and (2) perspectives detectives. The principle of self-focus demands that students practice seeing themselves as products of individual as well as social-group acculturation. On the other hand, perspective detectives is a principle that focuses on the understanding of heterogeneity within any particular group.
