Abstract

I came to social studies education at an exciting time—the late 1960s and early 1970s. There was much ferment in society—optimism in the twilight of the Civil Rights Movement, political turmoil over the Vietnam War, and the energy of the growing Women’s Movement. It was also a time of innovation within the field of social studies education as social educators and social scientists in the academy worked together to create the new curricular programs collectively named “The New Social Studies.”
