The following vignette speaks to a number of approaches the research community should consider when engaging in matters of justice work with young people and community members. Critical to this process is the ability to recognize the struggles, contradictions and missteps we make in out attempt to remain accountable to student and community concerns. Our humility is the most important element in conducting engaged research.
