This book presents research on creating and teaching civics curriculum in contentious times. The author provides detailed accounts of this research and proposes conceptual frameworks for the processes of teaching and learning civic perspective-taking, a key civic process.

Civics Education in Contentious Times: Working with Teachers to Create Locally-Specific Curricula in a Post-Truth World is a longitudinal research study that focuses on the collaboration between a researcher and elementary teachers to design and implement locally-specific civics curriculum in a predominately Latinx-serving Title I school. William Toledo details how the design team wrote and taught this curricular unit in the midst of contentious socio-political contexts and how themes from these greater contexts entered classrooms, along with proposing conceptual frameworks for teaching civic perspective-taking in these instances.

William Toledo is assistant professor of elementary social studies education in the College of Education at the University of Nevada, Reno.
