This paper begins by questioning the use of the word 'critical' in geography and identifies the connection between critical geography and social justice. This questioning of language use is then extended
into the metaphors of 'sites of engagement' while introducing a particular example of internet-based teaching of critical geography in a graduate course on geographic education in New Zealand. The paper
concludes by drawing attention to the as yet 'marginal practices' embedded in a 'politics of disappointment' that are a site of further engagement for teaching critical geographies.
