This session provides a space for different science education scholars to focus an analytical lens on their experience doing critical social justice work in education.

Participants will present their narratives or autoethnographic work using various critical lenses, drawing from a wide variety of experiences, and in way that may be of use to others pursuing critical work in a field that may not value, or even push back against, critical social justice work.
