IAP SSEC Book Series

Social Science Education Consortium Book Series

Beginning in January 2019, SSEC entered into a partnership with Information Age Publishing to serve as our official publisher The partnership provides expanded benefits to SSEC members, including significant discounts on IAP book purchase, greater publishing opportunities for SSEC members, cross-posting between SSEC and IAP social media platforms, award support for outstanding Young Scholar conference presenters, and others. We urge you to make contact with Information Age Publishing to browse their extensive inventory. Please direct any questions to Charlie White at ExecDirector@ssec-inc.org.

The underlying theme in the Social Science Education Consortium Book Series is the power of the social sciences to deepen the public’s understanding of significant social problems and to improve the quality of social and political discourse and decision-making. Social science disciplines represent rich knowledge domains and, importantly, offer powerful ways of thinking that can provide a foundation for systematic analysis and reasoned deliberation. The series aims to help educators convey the knowledge and intellectual tools of the social sciences in PreK-12 schools and in teacher education.
