Call for Papers
Special Issues on “Teaching Difficult Topics in Social Studies Classrooms”
in The Journal of Social Studies Education in Asia vol. 13

The Journal of Social Studies Education in Asia will publish a Special Issue on Teaching Difficult
Topics in Social Studies Classrooms (JSSEA Volume 13 will be published in the spring of 2024).
*This call for papers is already closed on August 31, 2023.

Editors:
・Jongsung Kim (Hiroshima University, Japan)
・Ryohei Ikejiri (The University of Tokyo, Japan)

The aim of this special issue:
Social studies teachers encounter difficulties in teaching specific topics in their classrooms. There aremany reasons for the difficulties. Some topics are difficult to fully understand because they are too complicatedin nature, and there is no social consensus in understanding them. Some topics are controversial (Hess &McAvoy, 2014) or traumatic (Zemblyas, 2014), and therefore, teachers have difficulties or find reluctance toteach these topics because the way of presenting them in the social studies classrooms might be troublesome.
Also, some topics are deeply related to teachers’ beliefs or identities, so teachers tend to avoid discussing themin their classrooms (Kelly, 1986). Based on the understanding that difficult topics are decided in the milieu ofindividual classrooms, especially respective countries’ contexts (Misco, 2012), this special issue aims to clarify
why and how teachers feel difficulties in teaching specific topics in social studies classrooms and how socialstudies research and teacher education can support teachers in overcoming the difficulties. Any theoretical,empirical, and practical research that answers the following questions in a particular context or multiple contexts
is welcomed in this special issue:
1. What topics do teachers find difficulties in teaching in the social studies classroom? Why do teachers
feel difficulties in teaching these specific topics?
2. How did teachers overcome the difficulties in teaching difficult topics? What empowered them andenabled their teaching of difficult topics?
