Addressing Social Issues in the Classroom and Beyond: The
Pedagogical Efforts of Pioneers in the Field is comprised of essays
that delineate the genesis and evolution of the thought and work of
pioneers in the field of social issues and education. The authors
(many of whom, themselves, are noted professors of education and
who have done significant work in the field of social issues and
education) delineate and analyze the efforts (e.g., theoretical
work, research, curriculum development, and teaching) of such
pioneers within the larger framework of their life-story. As a
result, the reader is not only introduced to the significant work
of each pioneer but valuable and often fascinating insights into
how his/her life experiences informed his/her thinking, beliefs,
goals and work. This book constitutes a rich and unusual record of
the thinking and accomplishments of those luminaries who worked
tirelessly in the belief that a well-educated and well-informed
populace was absolutely imperative in a democracy if the latter
were to remain healthy and vibrant. Beyond current scholars and
students, we believe that this book will be of great interest to a
wide spectrum of individuals: teacher educators who perceive the
need to avail their students of the rich history, rationales and
methods for incorporating the study of social issues across the
curriculum; professors who teach history of curriculum courses
and/or history of education courses are likely to be drawn to the
book, both for the rich stories as well as the bounty of
information found in each chapter; those who specialize in
autobiographical studies in the field of education are likely to
find the book to be remarkably rich and valuable both for their own
research as well as in their teaching; secondary level teachers in
science, social studies, and English who are interested in
incorporating the study of social issues into the courses they
teach will glean incredibly rich insights into why and how to go
about such an endeavor; and future scholars and students who care
deeply about how society impacts education, education impacts
society, and how individuals and groups can have a positive impact
on society through their collective efforts are bound to find the
book both fascinating and instructive.
