O knihe

Researching and Teaching Social Issues: The Personal Stories and Pedagogical
Efforts of Professors of Education, then, is comprised of original personal
essays in which some notable teacher educators of late 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 endeavors.
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. Indeed, 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 are individuals who have made a major contribution regarding
the critical need to address social issues at all levels of schooling and beyond. All have 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.
