Students’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) hinges upon their experience(s) engaging in authentic learning that strengthens cognitive skills, including critical thinking, self-awareness, reflection, compassion, empathy, and perspective taking. In this volume, the co-editors have curated reflective K-16 practitioner-style, research-focused, and theory-based chapters that explore social justice-orientated contemplative pedagogies, as well as mindfulness-related frameworks and strategies for teaching social studies and the social and behavioral sciences. In this book, chapter authors explore ways of cultivating specific mindfulness-related social studies dispositions and transformative rationales and approaches for critical mindfulness and SEL based on compelling arguments for meeting the needs of students, families, and educators in a dynamic and increasingly diverse society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalie Keefer and Tori Flint have curated an important collection of work on social studies curriculum that is as relevant as today’s headlines. By addressing mindfulness, they also examine the critical purposes of the social studies in contemporary life – the education of an informed, thoughtful, reflective citizenry that approaches both contemporary and enduring issues with empathy, compassion, wisdom and understanding. Indeed, while the focus is clearly on the social studies, this is a book for anyone who seeks to understand how curriculum can and should change the nature of learning. It’s a must read for teachers, scholars, and thought leaders who seek to heal a divided nation and a fractured global community.\u003c\/p\u003e -- J. Howard Johnston, University of South Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs state legislatures cast social studies curricula in the center of current culture wars, Mindful Social Studies puts forward a contemplative approach to the preparation of democratic, justice-oriented citizens. This volume recontextualizes mindfulness as a transformative tool in the pursuit of social justice and highlights person-first pedagogies that empower both teachers and students to embrace empathy, compassion, and courage; while encouraging us all to sit with the fear and vulnerability that accompany the discussion of controversial issues within and outside of the classroom. This book is for any educator seeking to provide a caring classroom community as a foundation for productive civic dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Sarah Denney, University of Indianapolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Critical Reflections: Centering Social Emotional Learning and Mindfulness in the Classroom Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Gazing Inward and Outward by Connecting SEL, Mindfulness, and Critical Pedagogies in the Social Studies Classroom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalie Keefer and Tori K.
