From the EditorThe Road Ahead As incoming editor of Canadian Social Studies, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Joe Kirman, the outgoing editor, for all the work he has done for CSS over the past decade. It is no exaggeration to say that because of his perseverance and dedication Canadian Social Studies has survived into the Twenty-first Century when many other subject-related journals have not. Thank you, Joe. As a journal serving the social studies community, Canadian Social Studies will continue to publish columns, articles and features of interest to academics and classroom practitioners alike. Our specific mandate, as I see it, is to provide a forum for informed comment, relevant research and practical teaching strategies directed towards strengthening teaching and research in social studies in general and Canadian social studies in particular. With this mandate in mind, the next few issues of CSS will focus on recent developments in the field of interest to the entire social studies community. In this issue we focus on new databases that should be of great value to classroom teachers. Jose Igartua presents a description of the newly inaugurated "Canadian History Portal," while Graham Reynolds writes of "The Peopling of Atlantic Canada," a CD ROM and resource guide for studying the history and development of Canada's four eastern provinces. In the Winter, 2002 issue, we will take up new trends in teaching Canadian history and include papers, comment, and resources presented at the recent "Giving the Past a Future" conference on history teaching held in Winnipeg. The Spring, 2002 issue will be a special theme issue examining gender in social studies. To long-time readers, subscribers, and contributors, I welcome your continued support and involvement, to those newly come to CSS, I hope you will find it a valuable social studies resource. The Editor |
