Abstract
In this Afterword, I detail a number of the many areas where Helen Gunter has made lasting contributions. I combine this with personal accounts of my own development that partly explain why I find her work of such interest. I then explore and extend some important implications of the logic that grounds her critical analyses. Finally, I make some political points about the significance of connecting critical work in education with other sites and movements in order to engage in social transformation.
