Social Studies - The Next Generation broadens the imagination within social studies education by highlighting current, cutting-edge scholarship incorporating critical discourses. Drawing on postmodern, poststructural, postcolonial, and feminist theories often borrowed from cultural studies, curriculum theory, critical geography, women's studies, and queer studies, the scholars contributing to this volume ask new questions about social studies, use different methodologies to study the field, and report findings with new forms of textualization. This book is dialogic and even conversational, ending with provocative responses from established social studies scholars and the editors and disturbs the given and the taken for granted in social studies research.

Re-searching in the Postmodern

Social Studies--the Next Generation

Annotation Segall (teacher education, Michigan State U.) presents this critical analysis of teacher education, based on a year-long study of six social studies teacher trainees at the University of Western Canada. The author raises questions about what and how teacher trainees "learn, do not learn, and learn not to learn" in preservice education courses; how the structures, discourses, and practices in these courses encourage students to learn some things and not others; and how typical teacher trainee courses influence the classroom choices later made by graduates when they become teachers. Segall argues that traditional teacher training courses encourage compliance over true critical thinking, making it difficult to produce "critical teachers who provide critical education in our schools."
