In this second edition of Getting Beyond the Facts, Kincheloe presents a comprehensive view of complex-democratic social studies in the 21st century. He argues that the reform of social studies education requires a corps of rigorous social science scholars who understand the historical origins of the social studies, the conceptual foundations of the field, its strengths and weaknesses, and modes of social theoretical analysis and takes students through numerous intellectual encounters in social studies and the contexts that inform it. Focusing on the importance of knowledge production and interpretation, Kincheloe calls for the education of social studies teachers as researchers who can critique and reconstruct curriculum as they expose the covert, ideological functions of contemporary educational reforms and top-down standards-driven social studies subject matter. In an era of depoliticization and induced political illiteracy, Kincheloe calls for a new form of social studies/social sciences scholarship to counter such alarming trends.

The Author: Joe L. Kincheloe is Professor of Education at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York and Professor of Education at Brooklyn College, where he has served as The Belle Zeller Chair of Public Policy and Administration. He often works with his partner, Shirley Steinberg, editing series such as 'Counterpoints: Series in the Postmodern Context of Education' for Peter Lang Publishing. Dr. Kincheloe's books include: Teachers as Researchers; How Do We Tell the Workers?; Critical Politics of Teacher Thinking; Toil and Trouble (Peter Lang); Changing Multiculturalism (with Shirley Steinberg); Thirteen Questions: Reframing Education's Conversation (with Shirley Steinberg; Peter Lang); Teaching Social Studies in the Twenty-First Century; and Stigma of Genius: Einstein, Consciousness, and Education (with Shirley Steinberg and Deborah Tippins; Peter Lang).
