Abstract
I begin by saying that I have not considered my work, be it teaching or research, to be a political activity. Interestingly, colleagues were not surprised that, while writing this chapter, I came to the realization that my research and teaching is political in nature and that I am a social justice educator. I have always known that my approach to both teaching and research were influenced by critical social theorists and scholars.
