It is not difficult to argue that the social sciences are in a
period of transition. Our day-to-day lives have been marked by
uncertainty as our social lives have vacillated wildly between
highs and lows, tensions between fellow citizens have heightened
along ideological fault lines, and educators have been placed
squarely at the center of public discourses about what-and how-we
should be teaching. By any measure, we are living in a time where
every moment seems to be rife with high stakes realities that must
be navigated. Ladson-Billings (2020) called on educators to
reimagine education and contest the notion of a "return to normal."
In the current highly polarized context where we see multiple
competing narratives, rather than promoting a "return to normal" or
"business as usual" approach, we argue that educators must use the
lessons of the last two years, as well as draw on what we have
learned from history and the social sciences. By asking ourselves
how we might interrogate and inform current social landscapes and
the challenges that arise from them, we have the opportunity to
take leadership in fostering innovation, building solidarity, and
re-imagining the teaching and learning of history and the social
sciences. We recognize that humans live in multiple complex
communities that include intersectional identities; relationships
with power, agency, and discourses; and lived realities that are as
unique as they are divergent. Consequently, the task of educators,
and the goal of this volume, is to provide a clarion voice to a
dynamic, relational, and undeniably human social world.
