Social studies is a K-12 and undergraduate curricular subject that combines history, geography, civics, economics, and cultural studies to teach students about societies, governments, and their own roles as citizens. Teachers of social studies help students develop critical thinking about historical events and current civic issues. It serves as a foundational subject before students specialize in fields like political science or history.
