In the wake of 2020, we need today' s young learners to be prepared to develop solutions to a host of entrenched and complex issues, including systemic racism, massive environmental problems, deep political divisions, and future pandemics that will severely test the effectiveness and equity of our health policies. What better place to start that preparation than with a social studies curriculum that enables elementary students to envision and build a better world? In this engaging guide two experienced social studies educators unpack the oppressions that so often characterise the elementary curriculum-normalisation, idealisation, heroification and dramatisation-and show how common pitfalls can be replaced with creative solutions. Whether you' re a classroom teacher, methods student or curriculum coordinator, this is a book that can transform your understanding of the social studies disciplines and their power to disrupt the narratives that maintain current inequities.

Her research has been published in peer-reviewed and practitioner journals including Theory & Research in Social Education, The International Journal of Multicultural Education, Social Studies & the Young Learner, Literacy Today, and School Library Journal. Before becoming a teacher educator, she was a bilingual elementary educator in Texas for nine years. Katy Swalwell is Lead Equity Specialist for the Equity Literacy Institute and founder of Past Present Future Media & Consulting. A former classroom teacher and tenured university professor, she explores how social studies education can help people of all ages become better at identifying and disrupting oppression.
