Gibson, Melissa – Theory and Research in Social Education, 2020
Best practices in civic education emphasize deliberative pedagogies as one of the most powerful ways to educate enlightened democratic citizens. Yet deliberative pedagogies are rooted in a white normative ideal of discursive democracy that, in the service of "civility" and "reasoned discourse," fails to account for the social…

Busey, Christopher L.; Walker, Irenea – Theory and Research in Social Education, 2017
Extant conceptions of patriotism in social studies curricula are centered upon blind allegiance to the state or a belief in ideals of a liberal democracy.
