Biography
James A. Duplass is Professor of Social Studies Education at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida.
In The Idea of a Social Studies Education, Duplass reminds social studies teachers and teacher educators, like me, about the deep meaningful purpose for the social studies. Jimmy’s narrative weaves together philosophy and lived experiences with a combination of recent and classic education research that encourages readers to rethink their understanding of the social studies and its enduring connections to identity, civic engagement, and the quest for the Good Life.
