TEACHING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS STUDY
I’m currently conducting a study on how high school social studies teachers approach standards related to reproductive rights, reproductive history, or abortion in the classroom — both what happens in practice (and what doesn't happen) and how teachers think about teaching this content in their local contexts. If you are such a teacher, I’d love to invite you to participate! If you aren’t, I’d appreciate any help spreading the word!
If you are or know know a high school teacher in one of these states/subjects, I'd be so grateful if you'd consider helping with this study:
▪️Connecticut: Civics
▪️D.C.: Government
▪️Florida: U.S. History
▪️Hawai'i: American Problems; Political Science & Government; or U.S. History & Government
▪️Idaho: Government
▪️Iowa: U.S. History
▪️Louisiana: Civics; U.S. History
▪️Maryland: U.S. History
▪️Massachusetts: U.S. History II
▪️Michigan: Civics; U.S. History & Geography
▪️Mississippi: U.S. History
▪️New Hampshire: U.S. & N.H. History
▪️New Jersey: Civics
▪️New York: U.S. History & Government
▪️Oklahoma: U.S. History; Government
▪️Rhode Island: 8th Grade Social Studies
▪️South Dakota: U.S. History; Civics
▪️Tennessee: Government
▪️Texas: Government
▪️Virginia: VA & U.S. History
▪️West Virginia: U.S. Studies Comprehensive; Contemporary Studies
Participants will receive at least $140 for their time and expertise. All identifying information is kept confidential and separate from the study data. No AI platforms will be used at any point in this study; I know that's a common concern, and I'm happy to talk through it (or anything else) with anyone considering participating.
This project is approved by the University of Georgia IRB and funded by the National Academy of Education and the Spencer Foundation.
