Vol. 8 No. 2018:4 (2018): Nordidactica 2018:4
This special issue of Nordidactica, the last for 2018, has the theme Sustainability in social science education and research: challenges and possibilities. Questions of sustainability are frequently present in public debates, and remain relevant not least through dramtic reports of climate change that are published and made known throughout the world. However, challenges regarding sustainability transcend environmental and climate studies and can be encountered in economic, social, and cultural contexts. The school subjects of geography, history, religious education and civics make up disciplinary areans where questions of knowledge and values are tackled together, which is essential to a sustainability perspective. This holds for questions regarding the climate and the environment, but also for questions about social justice, freedom and human rights, both contemporary and historically.
