The wonderful statements about empowering students  creating spaces for dialogue  and envisioning moments of empancipation are hard to translate into real institutional settings. The authors are willing to open up their own areas of vulnerability by describing their efforts to encact critical pedagogy and ten refelecting on their missteps  disappointments  and blind spots.\" Jo Sprague  San Jos State University  In this autoethnographic work  authors Deanna L. Fassett and John T. Warren illustrate a synthesis of critical pedagogy and instructional communication  as both a field of study and a teaching philosophy. Critical Communication Pedagogy is a poetic work that charts paradigmatic tensions in instructional communication research  articulates commitments underpinning critical communication pedagogy  and invites readers into self-reflection on their experiences as researchers  students  and teachers.

Through layered  storied accounts  the authors invite readers to explore how to engage in the study and teaching of communication as constitutive of social injustice.
