Abstract	The authors present a conversation among several leading social studies theorists, researchers, and practitioners on the social studies wars, or conflicts in the debate over the purposes, content, and practice of social studies in schools. Questions focus on addressing the plurality of definitions for the field, creating more effective dialogue among interest groups both within the National Council for the Social Studies and with other professional associations, and improving classroom practice. Running through the discussion are concerns related to the possibility of progress, role of professional organizations, present and future impact of federal legislation, and potential for developing common ground. The authors conclude with reflections on areas of agreement and dissonance among the discussants and endorse the idea of a summit meeting of a broad group of stakeholders aimed at developing potential areas of consensus.
