Mathematics teacher education has increasingly compelled mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) to take up the challenge of preparing prospective teachers to embrace justice-oriented pedagogies. Given the current climate of growing attacks on critical educators, I argue for the need to make visible and organize the ongoing ways MTEs engage in…

What are we in rhetoric, writing, and literacy studies currently practicing? What practices do harm and, in contrast, which counter harm?
