This book critically explores civic republicanism in light of
contemporary republican political theory and the influence of
republican models of citizenship in recent developments in civic
education across a number of Western nations.
This volume fills a significant gap in the scholarship on social
studies education by providing thoughtful reflections on research
methods in the field. It is not a "how to" guide but an exploration
of key issues related to the design and implementation of empirical
studies. The authors are active researchers who use varied methods
in diverse settings-including historical research, international
comparative studies, survey research, interviews with students and
teachers, classroom observations, self-studies and action research,
and emancipatory methodologies. They use their own experiences to
examine such topics as the conceptualization of research questions,
relationships with participants, researchers' identities, and
elicitation of students' and teachers' thinking. This collection
should become indispensable for both beginning and experienced
scholars in social studies.

A volume in Research in Curriculum and Instruction Series Editor:
O. L. Davis, Jr. The University of Texas at Austin Teaching and
Studying Social Issues: Major Programs and Approaches focuses on
many of the major innovations developed over the past 100 years by
noted educators to assist students in the study and analysis of key
social issues that impact their lives and society. This book
complements earlier books that address other aspects of studying
and addressing social issues in the secondary classroom:
Researching and Teaching Social Issues: The Personal Stories and
Pedagogical Efforts of Professors of Education (Lexington, Books,
2006); Addressing Social Issues in the Classroom and Beyond: The
Pedagogical Efforts of Pioneers in the Field (Information Age
Publishing, 2007); and Social Issues and Service at the Middle
Level (Information Age Publishers, 2009). The current book ranges
in scope from Harold Rugg's pioneering effort to develop textbooks
that purposely addressed key social issues (and thus provided
teachers and students with a major tool with which to examine
social issues in the classroom) to the relatively new efforts over
the last 20 to 30 years, including global education, environmental
education, Science/Technology/Society (STS), and genocide
education. This book provides the readers with details about the
innovators their innovations so they can (1) learn from past
efforts, particularly in regard to what worked and didn't work and
why, (2) glean new ideas, methods and approaches for use in their
own classrooms, and (3) craft new methods and approaches based on
the strengths of past innovations.

Approaching family through the lens of food, this book provides a
new perspective on the diversity of contemporary family life,
challenging received ideas about the decline of the family meal,
the individualization of food choice and the relationship between
professional advice on healthy eating and the everyday practices of
doing family.
This volume weaves together a variety of perspectives aimed at
confronting a spectrum of ethico-political global challenges
arising in the Anthropocene which affect the future of life on
planet earth. In this book, the authors offer a multi-faceted
approach to address the consequences of its imaginary and
projective directions. The chapters span the disciplines of
political economy, cybernetics, environmentalism, bio-science,
psychoanalysis, bioacoustics, documentary film, installation art,
geoperformativity, and glitch aesthetics. The first section
attempts to flesh out new aspects of current debates. Questions
over the Capitaloscene are explored via conflations of class and
climate, revisiting the eco-Marxist analysis of capitalism, and the
financial system that thrives on debt. The second section explores
the imaginary narratives that raise questions regarding non-human
involvement. The third section addresses 'geoartisty,' the counter
artistic responses to the speculariztion of climate disasters,
questioning eco-documentaries, and what a post-anthropocentric art
might look like. The last section addresses the pedagogical
response to the Anthropocene.
In the past decade, the field of memory has been dramatically
reconfigured. Global conditions have powerfully impacted on memory
debates, and at the same time, claims to memory are negotiated
globally. This is a fundamental shift, as until recently, the
dynamics of memory production unfolded primarily within the bounds
of the nation-state; coming to terms with the past was largely a
national project. Under the impact of processes of globalization,
this has changed fundamentally. Today it has become impossible to
understand the trajectories of memory outside a global frame of
reference. This book offers an innovative inroad into the various
problematics of memory in a global age. It presents analytical
categories to chart the terrain, and it supplies richly documented
case studies that illustrate the complexities of contemporary ways
of appropriating the past. Written from different cultural
positions and from different disciplinary backgrounds, the
collection of essays emphasizes the positionality of memory
production as it is negotiated locally and globally.
This book proposes a new theoretical framework for the study of
immigration. It examines four major issues informing current
sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of
international migration, processes of immigrants assimilation and
transnational engagements, and the adaptation patterns of the
second generation.

Many disasters are approached by researchers, managers and
policymakers as if they have a clear beginning, middle and end. But
often the experience of being in a disaster is not like this. This
book offers non-linear, non-prescriptive ways of thinking about
disasters and allows the people affected by disaster the chance to
speak.
