This book brings together history educators from Australia and around the world to tell their own personal stories and how they approach teaching history in the context of contemporary tensions in the classroom. It encourages historians to think actively about how history in the classroom can play a role in helping students to make sense of their world and to act honourably within it.
The contributors come from diverse backgrounds and include experienced history educators and early career academics. They showcase both a mix of approaches and democratize and decolonize the academy. The book blends theory and practice. It reflects on what is happening in the classroom and supports the discipline to understanding itself better, to improve upon its practices and to engage in academic discussion about the responsibility of teaching in the contemporary world.

Industry Reviews

"The authors are adamant that teaching history should have a social justice and activism agenda. ... I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend sections of it for foundational courses to my colleagues, post-secondary teachers, and students of history." (Heather Gray Lamm, JACANZS, Vol. 2, September, 2022)
