Humanities Textbooks

Imagine adults who have not learned about history, civics, economics and geography while they were in elementary school. Imagine a future where our diverse heritage is not taught in schools. Where will we find ourselves if our diverse people do not find common ground? Well folks, this is happening today in the aftermath of No Child Left Behind.

Subject Restriction:

The attention to testing in our schools is creating an unintended consequence.  This phenomenon is called curriculum narrowing. In short, it is a change in focus from non-tested subjects such as the arts, PE, social studies and science to those that are heavily tested like reading, writing and math. 

Instead of providing more options for students, districts are narrowing what has always been important in education”to teach kids about the world they live in and their place in it. Cutting back time spent on social studies could have consequences we will regret later”like a lack of common background knowledge and vocabulary so essential to our living and working together in a democracy. 

If students of lower social-economic status are to have a base to succeed in a global economy, it is critical they receive the foundation taught through social studies in elementary school.  For those middle or upper class students, a limited program in school will most likely result in less experiential learning, with the outcome that these students become bored and uninterested in school at an early age. 

Unintended Consequences:

Many white middle to upper socio-economic class students are choosing to attend private or charter schools that continue to offer a strong curriculum in social studies and science courses, an unintended consequence of curriculum narrowing in the public schools.  This side-effect of curriculum narrowing may be one contributing factor in the re-emergence in our country of segregated urban public schools.

Public schools have a monumental opportunity to provide all students with an understanding of the value of their contribution to society and to their success in creating futures that they deem appropriate. Different cultures value different things, and success is relative to who we are as people. Still, building common ground is essential through the learning of social studies with peers in school.

Importance of Cultural Literacy:

A solid curriculum in social studies will result in cultural literacy.  Wikipedia defines cultural literacy as “the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence (Wikipedia). Further,  (cultural literacy) is the study of how people participate in society and how society operates.  Through social inquiry children understand peoples role within society, according to Synapse Learning.

Academic achievement has an extremely high correlation to cultural literacy according to a research project conducted by E.D. Hirsch in 1996.  Further, annual income is a significant contributing factor to cultural literacy. 

Hirsch’s study further describes the theories of Thomas Jefferson, Horace Mann and John Dewey on the need for cultural literacy.  Specifically, Jefferson said, democracy required a common school to provide all children equally with the knowledge and skills that would keep them economically independent and free.

Building Background Knowledge and Vocabulary Essential to Successful Students:

According to psychological research, it is much easier to learn a new concept if you are able to connect that concept to something you already know.  Said another way, knowledge builds on knowledge. As upper and middle class students start school with a larger knowledge base than those in lower economic circumstances, low SES children are behind from the start.  Cutting social studies in schools will only add to the deficit in background knowledge and vocabulary.

The study of social studies is important because it should provides students with the knowledge they will need to live in our society. What could be more important than that? Yes, we need to know how to read, to write, and to do math! But, if we do not know how to live well in community with others, successfully within our society, where can we rightfully apply those skills?

Societal Significance:

Historically, has the white culture been successful in helping minority cultures to succeed in our country?  Unfortunately, not always! An excellent foundation for discussions about these struggles between race and diversity begins with a social studies curriculum.  It is critical to offer cultural and timely social studies programs with the goal of bridging the divides in our cultures through civics and history. Programs rich in discussions about current events are wonderful catalysts to building the needed understanding early.

Common understanding among the citizens of a country is the tie that will bind them together.  Social Studies is the avenue that can be used to create that understanding.  Reducing the social studies curriculum in our public schools will only lead to even more differences and misunderstandings among our citizens, particularly among the wealthy and lower classes.  Is that the right choice for our society?

Beyond Textbooks $32 Technology is a key driver of educational innovation, and a variety of programmes focusing on investment in infrastructure, equipment, in-service training and digital learning resources have been established to promote its usage in primary and secondary schools. So far, little comparative analytical attention has been devoted to understanding how digital resources improve the quality of learning and to assessing the public policies that support their development and use, and the role played by other stakeholders like publishers, broadcasting companies and increasingly user communities. This publication aims to fill that gap by both reviewing and evaluating the process of systemic innovation. Drawing on case studies from five Nordic countries, the report assembles information on the knowledge bases and policy actors which impact each phase of this innovation process and the main factors which influence its success including governance, financing and user involvement.

A Time for the Humanities $65 This book brings together an international roster of renowned scholars from disciplines including philosophy, political theory, intellectual history, and literary studies to address the conceptual foundations of the humanities and the question of their future. What notions of the future, of the human, and of finitude underlie recurring anxieties about the humanities in our current geopolitical situation? How can we think about the unpredictable and unthought dimensions of praxis implicit in the very notion of futurity?The essays here argue that the uncertainty of the future represents both an opportunity for critical engagement and a matrix for invention. Broadly conceived, the notion of invention, or cultural poiesis, questions the key assumptions and tasks of a whole range of practices in the humanities, beginning with critique, artistic practices, and intellectual inquiry, and ending with technology, emancipatory politics, and ethics. The essays discuss a wide range of key figures (e.g., Deleuze, Freud, Lacan, Foucault, Kristeva, Irigaray), problems (e.g., becoming, kinship and the foreign, "disposable populations" within a global political economy, queerness and the death drive, the parapoetic, electronic textuality, invention and accountability, political and social reform in Latin America), disciplines and methodologies (philosophy, art and art history, visuality, political theory, criticism and critique, psychoanalysis, gender analysis, architecture, literature, art). The volume should be required reading for all who feel a deep commitment to the humanities, its practices, and its future.

The text allows humanities instructors to present their students with challenging writing assignments and to expect focused, insightful papers in return without having to spend valuable class time teaching composition techniques.

Bioethics and the Humanities $29.99 Critiquing many areas of medical practice and research whilst making constructive suggestions about medical education, this book extends the scope of medical ethics beyond sole concern with regulation.

The New Humanities Reader $70.49 The New Humanities Reader presents 32 challenging and important essays from diverse fields that address current global issues. The authors contend that there is a crisis within the humanities today due to specialization within narrow fields of scholarship, resulting in a higher education system that produces students who lack the general cross-disciplinary knowledge needed to better understand today's complex world. The selections encourage students to synthesize and think critically about ideas and research formerly kept apart. This approach challenges readers to resist mimetic thinking and instead creatively connect ideas to help them understand and retain what they read. Through this process of reading, discussing, and writing, students develop the analytical skills necessary to become informed citizens. Focused on today's issues, the selections represent both well-known nonfiction authors and newly published writers and are drawn from such periodicals as The New Yorker and Natural History and from best-selling books including Reading Lolita in Tehran, Fast Food Nation, and Into the Wild. Students will be engaged by reading and rereading, analyzing and working with these selections not simply because they are models of good writing, but because they are also deeply thought-provoking pieces that invite readers to respond.
