Social studies teachers cannot avoid teaching about war. They must
consider how they can teach about war and related topics meaningfully
instead of relegating wars to a body of facts, such as dates, places,
names, or casualties. Teaching about war helps students comprehend
(de)colonization, cultivates their critical thinking skills, and
facilitates student understanding of conflict and peace. In Teaching
about War in International Contexts, the contributors adopt the
literal meaning of war—a state of armed conflict between nations,
states, or groups within a country or state. While there are books out
there focusing on how to teach a specific war, such as the Vietnam War
or the Korean War, no books highlight the pedagogical practices of
teaching global wars. Thus, Teaching about War in International
Contexts fills the gap in the existing literature. This edited book is
an invaluable pedagogical resource highlighting the teaching of war in
an international context in secondary (grades 6–12 or equivalent)
social studies classrooms worldwide. Featuring the voices of classroom
teachers, graduate students who used to be classroom teachers, and
teacher educators, this book provides readers with classroom-tested
practices for teaching about war. Readers will find examples of lesson
planning, teaching strategies, teachers’ reflections, and further
teaching resources on specific wars. This edited volume is an
invaluable resource for secondary social studies classroom teachers,
graduate and undergraduate social studies education students, and
social studies curriculum and instruction experts.
