Introduction

Welcome to my blog, created for CPED 6368: Perspectives and Research in Social Studies Education.  To others who may be reading this, I am currently in a Master's program at George Washington University to teach social studies at the secondary education level.

Having grown up in Washington, DC, the field of social studies has always been important to me (you really can't live here more than a day without feeling the effects).  This has had the downside of making me more than a little tired of the government and civics aspects, but all the different aspects of the field are crucially important to our understanding of both everyday life and human existence in general.  I am not content with merely educating myself but see my role as more of a guide to help future learners discover what all aspects of social studies are all about.
