In this study, the authors examine the same participants five years later to determine if and how their beliefs, teaching practices, and curricula may have changed. Using a multiple case study design, the authors found that all but one feminist teacher had become more critical in their stance. Five out of six teachers reported feeling a need to respond to the current climate for women and create more opportunities for their students to learn about gender equity. Yet, one of the six teachers, who previously had the strongest critical feminist views, described feeling defeated and frustrated with the outward sexism that has become more prevalent since the 2016 election.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"201 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00933104.2021.1875092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44620365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If one documents Muslim women’s advocacy, then they risk reifying the trope of the brave/liberated Muslim woman (subtext: liberated from the barbaric Muslim man and misogynistic religion); if one documents instances of how Muslim women navigate patriarchy in their lives, then one can prop-up notions of Muslim woman as victim. While this bind is not unique to Muslim women, scholarship on Muslim women and girls within the field of education often falls into the deeplydug ditches of dehumanizing narratives. Stories We Live and Grow By: (Re)telling Our Experiences as Muslim Mothers and Daughters by Muna Saleh is one such exception. Instead of starting her book with the sociopolitical context of Islamophobia (which is often done in studies of Muslims in the West), Saleh begins her book with memories of her childhood home and, in particular, reflection on the trees that were planted and grew around her. Through this recollection, Saleh sets the tone of an introspective work weaving between memory, transcripts, poetry, and process/analysis. It is clear from the first chapter that this text is not written as a response to anti-Muslim sentiment or as a plea for the reader to humanize the Muslim subject. Instead, Saleh centers her wonderings from a desire for greater self and communal understanding. Using the flourishing of trees as a primary metaphor, Saleh describes stories as the nurturing of soil, allowing shape and growth for the metaphoric trees. She reflects on the ways in which intergenerational stories inhabit the self while also wondering how others who share her subjectposition live within their own stories. She explores this wondering by engaging three pairs of Muslim mothers and daughters whom she terms her “co-inquirers.” Through multiple sessions of story-telling, Saleh grows a close bond with her co-inquirers in which the stories that are retold are done so relationally.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"486 - 488"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00933104.2021.1888620","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41883568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings demonstrated that migrant teachers’ minoritized racial, cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds, together with their lack of citizenship status in the United States, created and accentuated various forms of exclusion, as well as a sense of their own vulnerability in the current racist, U.S.-centric, and anti-immigration climate. Nevertheless, these teachers have crafted a range of tactics to navigate the uncertainties they face and their sense of non-belonging, performing transnational activities with those in their home countries and forging alliances with their students in their local school communities. Through their complex and unique positionalities, these migrant teachers have shaped their understanding and practices of citizenship which decenter the increasing focus on the nation-state and Whiteness. Their life trajectories as migrants of color further served as valuable assets in their teaching citizenship education.

Using speculative civic literacies and sound studies as conceptual tools to interrogate young children’s making as civic action, it asks: How do two young students and their teachers discursively make civic futures—speculative stories proposing preferable solutions to problems—through digital making and inquiry? How do the children use “sound” making or “make” sounds to document civic deliberation, practice participation, and take informed action across real and imagined worlds? Presented as a series of strategic sketches, the findings analyze the children’s practices and processes of digital media production. In doing so, this study suggests that sound functioned not only as a modal resource for making, but a critical literacy tool that stitched together heard histories of personal injustice with collaborative problem-solving in elementary social studies.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"360 - 389"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00933104.2021.1874582","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47910651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preservice teachers, enrolled in elementary social studies methods courses at two institutions, responded to surveys about their agreement with traditional and compassionate standards for financial literacy before and after a visual, audio, and dramatic art intervention integrated into the elementary methods course. After their experience of three art-based instructional activities about social injustice, the preservice teachers expressed more agreement with compassionate financial literacy standards for Grade 4 than they did before the activities. This research informs the social education community about alternative conceptions of financial literacy, the relevance of art-based instruction to social education and financial education, and the prospects for affecting teacher candidates’ perspectives toward financial literacy.

Elementary-aged Children of Color face civic marginalization because of their multiple identities, including culture and age. We present a case study of one white fifth-grade teacher, Ms. Vine, and her two classes of culturally and linguistically diverse students who engaged in critical social studies content that created opportunities for students to use and learn about cultural citizenship. We highlight three cultural citizenship practices seen across students’ engagement with social studies content. First, students engaged in self-definition and identity work, laying the groundwork for further critical civic education. Second, the class interrogated issues of injustice and civic action through attention to counternarratives inclusive of Children and Communities of Color as civic actors. Finally, students grappled with historical agency in counternarratives and negotiated agency within the classroom. These cultural citizenship practices enabled Black and Brown children to draw on their civic assets, engage a conception of civicness reflective of people like themselves, and forwarded critical elementary social studies practices.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"78 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00933104.2020.1831675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44730570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, little is known about how teachers view data literacy’s role in social studies education or how well prepared they are to teach it. This study involved an online self-administered cross-sectional questionnaire of a sample totaling 262 practicing U.S. elementary and secondary teachers of social studies.
