Description
This text moves both forward and backward in examining definitions of democracy, citizenship, work, social studies, and education. The contributors to this edited volume address social studies teaching at the elementary and secondary levels as well as social studies teacher education. They describe teaching as not only examining and changing classroom practices, but as engaging in contesting and reforming educational discourses, school structures and politics, and values in the wider society.

Description
In 1932 George Counts, in his speech "Dare the School Build a New Social Order?" explicitly challenged teachers to develop a democratic, socialistic society. In Democratic Social Education: Social Studies for Social Change Drs. Hursh and Ross take seriously the question of what social studies educators can do to help build a democratic society in the face of current antidemocratic impulses of greed, individualism and intolerance. The essays in this book respond to Counts' question in theoretical analyses of education and society, historical analyses of efforts since Counts' challenge, and practical analyses of classroom pedagogy and school organization. This volume provides researchers and teacher educators with ideas and descriptions of practice that challenge the taken-for-granted meanings of democracy, citizenship, culture, work, indoctrination, evaluation, standards and curriculum within the purposes of social education.
