Aim:
This SIG aims to develop a vibrant and supportive community of scholarsworking in the fields of History Education and Historyof Education. The SIG will provide opportunities to advance innovative and robust research in the history of education and history education, foster national and international networks among scholars and thebuilding of cross-institutional research partnerships, and actively mentor early career researchers and doctoral students working in history and education.

Rich opportunities exist to further build research strengths in this area and to foster methodological and conceptual innovation in both history education and historical studies of education.
