This research explores the integration of the UK Prevent Duty into teacher education by employing Zygmunt Bauman's concept of Liquid Modernity. Through an analysis of student teachers' experiences, the study uncovers discrepancies in their understanding and application of the Prevent Duty, revealing a sense of indifference and limited agency among them. The findings suggest that student teachers are adopting a new form of professionalism, characterized by a fluidity that reflects the changing landscape of educational expectations related to counter-terrorism.
