Researching and Teaching Social Issues: The Personal Stories and
Pedagogical Efforts of Professors of Education is comprised of
original personal essays in which notable teacher educators
delineate the genesis and evolution of their thought and work
vis-a-vis the teaching of social issues. In relating their personal
stories, the authors were asked to discuss among other issues those
individuals and/or scholarly works that have most influenced them
and how, their own aspirations in the field, the frustrations they
have faced, their perceptions of the field, their major
contributions, and their current endeavours. Our goal was that each
and every story be as informative, instructive, and engaging as
possible. We believe that readers will be thoroughly engaged as
they read the stories of these individuals-stories that are
inspiring, filled with passion, and reflective in nature. We also
believe that readers will gain unique pedagogical insights into the
field and ample food for thought. The individuals selected for
inclusion in the book dedicated a great amount of time, thought,
energy, and commitment to creating powerful and pedagogically sound
ways to teach about social and/or controversial issues. Many have
done so for well over forty years, and have been among the
strongest advocates vis-a-vis the place social issues have in the
extant curriculum and beyond. CONTENTS Introduction by Samuel
