65 - The Sociology of Social Studies
In this second installment of our Cultural Transmission series, we take a look at "Social Studies": what is that section on standardized tests? Why does nobody know what it is? Well, partially because the people who came up with it weren't interested in telling us precisely what it meant. Today we'll dig a little bit into the history of social studies, and why its origins are a bit insidious as well as ambiguous.
This Episode Features: Social Studies; The Rat Dies; Isaac Asimov; Oculus Reparo; Cata-What-Now; McGuffey's Readers; Storytelling And Mysticism; and Bryan Is A History Teacher He Just Doesn't Get Paid For It.
