The terrorist attacks of September 11 2001 dramatically changed many aspects of American society and the ramifications of that horrific event are still impacting the domestic and foreign policies of the United States. Yet fifteen years after 911ampmdashan event that was predicted to change the scope of public education in the United Statesampmdashwe find that the social studies curriculum remains virtually the same as before the attacks. For a discipline charged with developing informed citizens prepared to enter a global economy such curricular stagnation makes little sense. This book which contains chapters from many leading scholars within the field of social studies education both assesses the ways in which the social studies curriculum has failed to live up to the promises of progressive citizenship education made in the wake of the attacks and offers practical advice for teachers who wish to encourage a critical understanding of the post911 global society in which their students live.
