Social education is quite a journey. Given the ongoing debate and
struggle with "defining" social education, the following is at
present a "working definition" - "While we resist 'defining' social
education, we believe that social education emphasizes three areas
of study: critical pedagogy, cultural/media studies, and social
studies education. We also stress that education, interpreted
broadly, has the potential to advance social justice." Thus emerged
social education... a lifelong journey for all of us - to question,
to challenge, to do, and to create. Connecting present and past,
merging current issues with traditional curriculum, integrating
alternative texts and perspectives, empowering and emancipating
kids and educators, and transforming schools and society - the
transgressions of social education scream out. Dewey, Freire,
Kincheloe, Zinn, Greene, Giroux, Apple, hooks, McLaren, Kozol,
Loewen, Said, Chomsky, even Bob Dylan and many others have provided
the impetus. May we make them proud The essays within this text
demonstrate various journeys in social education. They are meant as
stories, not maps or scripts. They are intended to serve as a
primer of sorts, for those interested in a similar journey.
Hopefully, this can be a meaningful experience for many - students,
educators, parents, and society as a whole, of course. Well... the
journey and struggle continues...
