Learning to be in the World with Others: Difficult Knowledge and Social Studies Education

Learning to be in the World with Others Difficult Knowledge and Social Studies Education In this book, H. James Garrett inquires into the processes of learning about the social world, populated as it often is with bewildering instances of loss, violence, and upheaval. In such learning, interactions invite and enliven our passionate responses, or prompt us to avoid them. Interpreting and working with these often emotional reactions is critical to social studies education and developing strategies for individuals to participate in democracy. Garrett illustrates ways that learning about the world does not occur in absence of our intimate relations to knowledge, the way learning sometimes feels like our undoing, and how new knowledge can feel more like a burden than an advantage.Additional ISBNs9781433132384, 9781433139673, 9781433139680Learning to be in the World with Others: Difficult Knowledge and Social Studies Education 1st Edition is written by H.
