While it is easy to underestimate the role of theory in such pursuits throughout social studies education, this book shows that theory is always-already present in \u003cem\u003eall\u003c\/em\u003e productions of teaching and learning. In this collection, well-established scholars highlight a broad range of theories that are currently being used to alter the landscape of social studies instruction. Important to these efforts is the position that theory does not exist in a vacuum but rather is the reflection of a certain set of concepts \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003ethe relationship that one holds to those ideas. Taking this further, each chapter author employs storytelling as a means to share their personal history and unpack how they came to understand their selected theoretical topic. They address a breadth of concepts, such as Black feminism, psychoanalysis, racial capitalism, settler colonialism, sustainability, and technoskepticism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe only resource of its kind that pairs storying with a far-reaching range of theories actively being used by scholars in the field of social studies education and research.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBrief chapters, arranged alphabetically by concept, provide structure while also staying true to the book's framing of theory as being curious, fragmented, nomadic, and discursive.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eEmbedded connections within each chapter meant to help readers understand the relational and entangled nature of theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555624481048,"sku":"9780807786406","price":37.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-theory-story-reader-for-social-studies-paperback-softback-9780807786406","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
