The message the resulting curriculum sends to children is that the United…

Johnson, Katharine – Rethinking Schools, 2012
As in many historically black neighborhoods in the United States, the gentrification of northeast Portland rests on an older history of economic injustice perpetrated by banks, realtors, governments, and white property owners. Redlining was one piece of an elaborate puzzle denying people of color access to housing and to wealth. The term refers to…

We then turn to a discussion of a…

Andersson, Sonja; Bergstrom-Nyberg, Susanne; Dumbrajs, Martina; Dumbrajs, Sivbritt; Martelin, Victoria; Westerlund, Tove – Online Submission, 2010
The authors investigate how an integrative approach can be applied to teaching of different disciplines at school.

In addition to an integrated understanding of the topic, the…
