| Abstract: | In this article, we explore the concept of student voice as it comes to life in the high-stakes setting of the university lecture, and as it is specifically experienced through the perspective of student teachers from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Drawing on the philosophical work of Stanley Cavell, we examine how student voice can be lost, frozen, or otherwise crowded out in the lecture setting. Based on an analysis of data garnered through 23 interviews with student teachers, we argue that the higher purpose of the lecture setting is alien to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who feel isolated, othered and ultimately silenced in a middle-class environment whose benevolence has admitted them but whose privilege controls and limits their participation.
