The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies is a peer-reviewed, academic journal. Originating with the Illinois Council for the Social Studies in 1939, The Councilor has become national in scope with an international audience. The Councilor publishes research and practitioner articles concerned with social studies education, social sciences, history, and interdisciplinary studies. Due to the emerging nature of America’s culture wars, The Councilor will have a keen eye on topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in public and private schools and universities.
See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
