Description

This is the annual summer conference of the Schools History Project which takes place at Leeds Trinity University. The conference brings together primary and secondary teachers of history with academic historians, teacher training institutions, exam boards and publishers. This year we have 46 workshops spread over the 3 days of the conference with topics ranging from embedding disciplinary concepts, to local histories, to diversifying and decolonising the history curriculum. We also have 3 keynote sessions, with lectures from Distinguished Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington who will be talking about AI and history; Professor Dan Hicks who will be talking about material culture and the repatriation of artefacts such as the Benin Bronzes; and a roundtable discussing history and interdisciplinarity with Jason Todd (Oxford), Mary Wooley and Clare Stow (Canterbury Christ Church), Yvonne Roberts-Ablett (Government of Wales) and Andy Pearce (Holocaust Teaching Centre UCL). As this is a residential conference there are many opportunities to network and share good practice with other history educators and we consciously build time into the programme to facilitate this.
