Heterodox Out Loud, Episode 17: Critical Theory or Common Humanity? The Case for a Liberal Approach to Social Studies Education
common humanity view: humans are unequivocally equal, even though they have minor differences. even group-based differences. This facilitates a common humanity by opening opportunities for groups to share a goal and form relationships.
