Abstract
Despite public pressure for neoliberal approaches to teacher preparation, there remains an urgent and growing need for educators to be prepared to challenge the status quo and work to dismantle instantiated structures that are oppressive and/or marginalizing to students and families of color. To this end, this case examines an assignment for teacher candidates in the Pacific NW of the US intended to interrupt the current obsession with pragmatism and build a community of educators as informed intellectuals and activists.
