Abstract
This paper reviews my work in anti‐racist and anti‐sexist programs, crossing the conventional boundaries between Aboriginal Studies, Multicultural Studies and Women's Studies to develop understandings and strategies for change. I look especially at teacher in‐service, staff development and departmental training programs in these areas. I use the notion of a politics of location as a way of exploring how each of us is positioned in terms of the problems or programs at hand. In the process, describe some of the challenges and responses that have marked my learning about educating for change.Keywords
