Focus & Scope

The International Journal of Social Studies Review (IjSSr) was focused on supporting participatory critical social studies education in aid of peace, and social, political, environmental, economic, and cultural justice. The IjSSr believed all Social Studies education was political and that teaching and learning should have been practiced as moral and ethical interventions in the world. The IjSSr was dedicated to publishing articles that challenged the conventional and popular construction and delivery of Social Studies education that stressed the "sage on the stage" banking model of education. Social Studies was seen as an art, where the heart met the mind.

The IjSSr sought to support the meaningful exploration, analysis, and discussion of controversial and pressing issues in Social Studies education. IjSSr blended scholarship and social activism. The IjSSr invited reviews of articles and book reviews related to Social Studies education from teachers, student teachers, graduate students, and faculty members, including the authors’ personal perspectives. Using new media technology, the journal attempted to bridge the gap between scholarly research and social modes of knowledge mobilization and dissemination.
