This paper provides a review of research that examines the development and expression of agency in and through high-school physics. The interchange offers realizations and questions brought to mind by the reading of the research and provides written comments connected to specific sections of the paper germane to my own theoretical perspective. Within the context of this commentary, raised issues are discussed in a dialogic manner in order to elucidate deeper understanding concerning the empirical investigation presented in the study. As a final point, a brief synopsis is put forward regarding some of the contributions that studies such as the one reviewed have to offer for providing equitable access to science for "all" students.
