About The Guest























Lauren Brown spent about 20 years teaching US history in middle and high schools and another eight years working at the university level with future social studies teachers. She now works as a consultant and writer on MiddleWeb and her own Substack.


She writes about education with a special focus on why social studies and history in particular matter. Much of her work is about helping people see how good history teaching strengthens, not just literacy, but our democracy as well.
