This session explores how an inquiry approach to social studies using an ethnic studies framework can make social studies classrooms more inclusive and reflective of global diversity, while building students historical thinking skills. The session will address how the ethnic studies framework can build student learning autonomy, highlight diverse histories, challenge Eurocentric views, and honor the unique experiences, identities, and values of racial and ethnic groups. The ethnic studies and inquiry approaches focus on humanity, agency, and liberation, offering a fuller understanding of history while challenging stereotypes and promoting inclusive, empowering narratives in the social studies classroom. The session is appropriate for any secondary social studies course.
