EDSS 6301 Contemporary Special Topics in Social Studies Education
This course will explore various contemporary trends and sociocultural and sociopolitical topics that affect practices in social studies education. These may include, but are not limited to issues related to border history and politics, social justice in contemporary topics like immigration and wars (i.e. on terrorism, overseas, violence), implied and explicit oppression of local cultures and broader state and national communities. These will be discussed in terms of how they pose both general and specific challenges to the social studies teacher, both in developing a community of learners and targeting topics of relevance in a sensitive and critically minded manner.
