Abstract
This chapter responds to calls for the revitalisation of enterprise and entrepreneurship education through the development of critical understanding and practice. Specifically, it addresses the issue of taken-for-granted practice and considers how this can be interrupted. It ‘plugs in’ to the ideas of educational scholar and philosopher Gert Biesta to reflect on enterprise education (EE) interventions for student teachers in an initial teacher education context. Rather than ‘training’ student teachers to reproduce dominant narratives and activities, the chapter explores providing alternative framings and moments for students to encounter their own and others’ reactions to EE. The authors reflect that such an approach can encourage future teachers to see pupils – and themselves – not as objects of more or less effective EE interventions, but as subjects in their own lives. The chapter underscores the importance of a h igher education when it comes to supporting student teachers to develop EE.
