- Summary:
- The field of elementary social studies is a specific space that has historically been granted unequal value in the larger arena of social studies education and research. This reader stands out as a collection of approaches aimed specifically at teaching controversial issues in elementary social studies. This book challenges social studies education (i.e., classrooms, teacher education programs, and research) to engage controversial issues--those topics with opposing, often politically, religiously, or are otherwise ideologically charged which make people, especially teachers, uncomfortable--in profound ways at the elementary level. This reader, meant for elementary educators and social studies teacher educators offers an innovative vision from a new generation of social studies teacher educators and researchers fighting against the forces of neoliberalism and marginalization of our field.
