This paper, based on a keynote talk delivered at the 2017 Occupational Science Europe conference in Hildesheim, Germany, describes the development and contributions of critical occupational science. In addition, it marks out strategies and directions forward in enacting a transformative agenda that addresses occupational injustices through a continuum of research and action. To date, critical occupational science scholarship has expanded conditions of possibility for thinking about and studying occupation, and has created a productive space to further understanding of the socio-political production of occupational injustices. To move forward in mobilizing the growing call to enact social transformation through occupational science scholarship, key strategies and directions are proposed. These strategies and directions are aimed at fostering critical alertness; challenging dualistic thinking; deconstructing ideals of value-free research and articulating moral and political standpoints; and, stepping outside dominant structures and modes of thought.
