Dr. Amy Camardese, assistant professor of education at Westminster College, was recently selected as co-chair of the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Book Committee.
"This committee read over 400 books and selected 118 of them for the 2006 list," Camardese said.
The committee, appointed by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), looks for books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, and present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic.
Camardese, who has been with Westminster College since 2001, earned her undergraduate from the Ohio University, her master's from the University of Pittsburgh, and her Ph.D. from Kent State University.
Contact Camardese at (724) 946-7183 or e-mail camardah@westminster.edu for more information.
