Proponents of multicultural education have long held that teaching for cultural competency is a primary aim. This has often been accomplished through educating students and professionals about the various traits and general characteristics which members of oppressed social groups would generally exhibit. Recent scholarship, however, suggests that this approach often inhibits practitioners from making the appropriate insights, making for worse and not better outcomes. What is needed, it would seem, is a new model of pedagogy for cultural competency which takes up a different, or more careful approach. The present essay does just this by developing Paul Ricoeur’s account of translation for multicultural education.
