Abstract
Sadler: I am very interested in the author’s application of critical theory to the teaching and learning of SSI. My work tends not to be guided by this perspective; not because I do not see value in critical theory and pedagogy but rather because a critical perspective raises certain issues with which I struggle to deal. I hope the authors can discuss ways that they deal with or conceptualize some of these issues.
