Geography and Social Justice in the Classroom

This volume posits geography as a bridge between the natural and social sciences, demonstrating how issues such as discrimination and poverty can be more deeply understood with a spatial perspective from varying scales: individual, community, region, nation, and world. It explores new developments in geography and their implications for the K-12 social studies curriculum, introducing teachers and teacher educators to new research in the field and providing theoretical and practical examples of geography in the curriculum.
