“…The lack of racial, ethnic, and gender diversity among teacher educators should be a concern as it has the potential for widening an already significant knowledge gap for preservice and practicing teachers (Milner & Howard, 2013). Demographic diversity has always been an issue in teacher education (Andersen & King, 1987;Hodgkinson, 2002a, b), but before the narrative of demographic imbalance advances much further it is imperative that efforts are made to look deeply at who is preparing teachers in the twenty-first century.…”

Growth in racial and ethnic diversity among public school P-12 students stands in stark contrast to the teaching population who tend to be monolingual, White females. Secondary social studies teachers defy demographic teacher trends, as they tend to be male, albeit White males who still are not representative of the students they teach. What is missing from the discourse of student–teacher imbalance however is discussion surrounding diversity among social studies teacher educators. The purpose of this study was to examine racial, ethnic, and gender demographics for social studies teacher educators using a framework of critical teacher demography. Findings revealed that social studies teacher educators tend to reflect the population of social studies teachers with many being White males. Furthermore, social studies teacher educators tend to focus their research on concepts such as democratic citizenship with little focus dedicated to critical multicultural issues. The paucity of diversity in demographics and research is critical for social studies teacher educators to consider if we are to reflect multiculturalism in 21st century schools.
