Nurturing Critical Consciousness in the Pursuit of Critical Consciousness

"My ARDR capstone experience was transformative, a profound exploration into the depths of self-discovery as a critical researcher. The invaluable collaboration with critical friends helped me to navigate personal positions, biases, and power within my research. Dr. Letiecq served as a facilitator of inquiry, allowing me the reflective space not only to interrogate my researcher positionality but also to nurture my criticality through a highly intellectual cycle of reading, discussing, and questioning. My capstone project summarized a semester of personal growth, and the process is one I will hold with me as I continue my work as a critical researcher."
