Reproducing and reconstructing the social order: a conceptual history of democracy and citizenship education in the journal, Theory and research in social education, 1973-2012

This conceptual history examines how democracy was presented and understood from 1973 to 2012 in the social studies education journal, Theory and Research in Social Education. It is argued that in this archive democracy has primarily been framed by the question of whether curricular models serve to reproduce or transform the existing society.
