Teachers who work to challenge the oppressive impacts of education exhibit agency with instructional choices and search out relationships based on struggle and solidarity. In the chapters of this section, educators explain how the authentic problems in their classrooms led to action, focusing on the social and political contexts of such actions including the relationships that were formed through the process. Each of these educators tells her story of working to disrupt traditional educational boundaries. Finally, their stories move beyond the classroom to connect with the experiences and actions of other social justice educators and community activists.
