Going to the National Council on the Social Studies Annual Conference in San Diego? Come see our workshop!

We will be presenting our workshop, "Exposing Overpopulation Myths as a Tool for Social Justice Education" at the annual NCSS conference on Friday, November 30 from 3:45 - 4:45pm.

Published by the Population and Development Program at Hampshire College, "Babies, Burdens and Threats [PDF]" casts a critical eye on the current landscape of population control. It includes articles on topics such as population aging, race and immigration, eugenics and biological determinism, the environment, national security, and a comprehensive overview of why we should rethink and question overpopulation arguments. A great resource for educators!
