International Social Studies Forum: The Series

The International Social Studies Forum: The Series book series focuses on contemporary issues related to the teaching and learning of social studies from around the world. The primary aim of this series is to significantly contribute to the literature to understand the theory, research, and practice of social studies education within local, national, international, global, and transnational contexts.

• 4 Domains of Social Studies: Books in this theme focus on one (or several) of the four main domains of teaching and learning social studies of civics, geography, economics, and history.

• Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice: Books in this theme address diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice related to race, class, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, and (dis) ability within P-12 social studies and social studies teacher education.
