About
Mark Helmsing is a doctoral student in Curriculum, Teaching, & Education Policy at Michigan State University. His research examines the ethics, affects, and knowledges of social studies education transmitted between the social and the self and the subjectivities constructed for social studies education through its dividing practices of Othering and a ‘politics of becoming’.
He draws upon poststructural qualitative research, Continental philosophies, and histories of curriculum thought in his work.
At Michigan State, Mark teaches methods courses in social studies teacher education and works as a research associate for a NSF-funded project investigating the effects of professional development at local museums in New York City for middle school teachers in New York. His dissertation research involves ongoing ethnographic fieldwork in diverse social studies classrooms in high schools throughout the state of Michigan.
