From the Editor

With this volume (number 37), Canadian Social Studies begins another year of service to the social studies community in Canada. As in the past, we have attempted to position the journal in such a way that it remains a valuable resource for academics and classroom teachers alike.

In that light, contributions to this issue range from Skip Chilcoat, Tim Morrison, and Greg Bryan's useful suggestions about how best to use comic books in social studies classes, to Walt Werner's thoughtful discussion about how students might engage media reports on religious and sectarian violence in ways that counter cynicism and the tendency to stereotype the "other."

In this issue we also continue Penney Clark's series of interviews with prominent scholars and public figures on the role of history in social studies education. This time around, Dr. Clark has chosen to interview Rudyard Griffith, the Executive Director of the Dominion Institute.

I hope you find the Fall, 2002 issue of Canadian Social Studies both informative and thought-provoking.

The Editor
