In this brief text, two leaders of the Teaching Sociology movement encourage students’ development of their sociological imaginations through role-taking. Assuming the role of a child living in poverty in India or of a member of an African tribe, students learn to re-envision their global society. An innovative, integrated framework provides core sociological concepts, while features such as Contributing to Our Social World enable students to “do” public sociology. Our Social World: Condensed Version presents the perspective of students living in the larger global world.

Book Description
"Against the backdrop of omnipresent terror and the threats of world-shattering warfare, it is vital that schools and teachers work with pupils towards tolerance, social justice, and conflict resolution. This book, Meeting the Challenges of Teaching in an Era of Terrorism offers a worldview for educating children growing up in the climate of worldwide terrorism and uncertainty." "Based in the fields of educational sociology and qualitative research methods, the book presents accounts, studies, and information on about children in the educational setting from a global viewpoint. It shows how creative strategies that acknowledge our human diversity within an overall context of equality and peacefulness can be the basis for the educational enterprise to combat the stresses induced by global terrorism." "The book is for experienced teachers, teachers in pre-service training, administrators, counselors and social workers and will enable them to be more effective in their work with children and their families."--BOOK JACKET.

Teaching and Learning Difficult Histories in International Contexts
Author: Terrie EpsteinPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351788485
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Grounded in a critical sociocultural approach, this volume examines issues associated with teaching and learning difficult histories in international contexts. Defined as representations of past violence and oppression, difficult histories are contested and can evoke emotional, often painful, responses in the present. Teaching and learning these histories is contentious yet necessary for increased dialogue within conflict-ridden societies, reconciliation in post-conflict societies, and greater social cohesion in long-standing democratic nations. Focusing on locations and populations across the globe, chapter authors investigate how key themes—including culture, identity, collective memory, emotion, and multi-perspectivity, historical consciousness, distance, and amnesia—inform the teaching and learning of difficult histories.
