Examining Agency in Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People
Sat, April 10, 9:30 to 10:30am EDT (9:30 to 10:30am EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Social Studies Research Roundtable SessionsAbstract
Agency is an omnipresent concept but rarely examined in children’s literature.

I found the unbalanced representation of agency and discussed the implications for social studies educators.
