Colleagues,
Please join me in congratulating E. Wayne Ross and his co-authors, Sandra Delgado and Michelle Gautreaux (Wayne’s PhD students), on the publication of their journal article.
Sandra Ximena Delgado Betancourt, Michelle Gautreaux, & E. Wayne Ross. (2016).

Íber: Didáctica de las Ciencias Socials, Geografia e Historia, 82, 50-55.
Abstract:
This paper proposes the use of stories for children and youth as an alternative to incorporate critical social perspectives in the classroom, with a focus on social justice. Through examples the authors show how children’s literature facilitates classroom explorations of power, tyranny and justice.
Íber: Didáctica de las Ciencias Socials, Geografia e Historia is one of the world’s leading Spanish language social studies education journals and is published in Barcelona, Spain.
Hearty congratulations, Wayne, Sandra and Michelle.
Best, Peter
