I found out this week that Woodrow Wilson’s mum was from Carlisle and he loved cycling holidays in the Lake District. My Cumbrian Y12 history nerds were very happy to learn this fact (as was I!)

New-ish film I participated in about colonial Yorkshire. See thread for link and password to see the film @themerl.bsky.social @handhyorkshire.bsky.social

Happily I can now share this film I participated in: Walk The Land opens up the colonial history of the Yorkshire Dales. It's by a great Dutch film maker Peter Delpuet & features the poet Testament, with other locals being spontaneously interviewed. Password WTLDocmakers! vimeo.com/755262849

Big Fat Lie. We have 3 Mosques.

...and just like that, the prep for this year's HA Conference has begun! @colinmccormick.bsky.social and I will be presenting about our ongoing work on teaching the British Empire, inspired by @corinnefowler.bsky.social 's Our Island Stories 📖 first time attending HA Conference too - can't wait! 🌟

Epstein managed different networks. The UK media has rightly centred the powerful pedophile ring. It has maintained an uncanny silence about the global, anti-democratic, far right political network. Farage is up to his neck in it. If it weren’t for unprecedented double standards it’d be career over.

Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon’s European Revolution – Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein

Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support

Ignore the inevitable, instinctive, ad hominem, knee jerk hostility to a book on slavery and the monarchy in the right wing press. This is a better glimpse of @brookenewman.bsky.social’s new book: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

British crown was world’s largest buyer of enslaved people by 1807, book reveals

Exclusive: Author of The Crown’s Silence tells how navy and monarchy protected slave trade for hundreds of years

It's been great to adapt our enquiry - How did the Transatlantic Slave Trade change the world - using the ideas from the Liverpool and the Transatlantic Slave Trade book. Huge thanks to @colinmccormick.bsky.social @katieamery.bsky.social and @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social for your fab work on this.

Great chat with film maker and environmentalist John Tween in Moseley Bog, a place associated with Tolkein & much loved by the poet Benjamin Zephaniah m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxeo...

Great to know @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social! Thanks so much to you and to @colinmccormick.bsky.social also for your #SHP25 workshop also! Loved the approach you've developed to connect the local/national/global! So much to work with there!

Brilliant session by @dankeates.bsky.social . Can't wait to read it. @victoriacrooks.bsky.social

Kicking-off day 2 of @1972shp.bsky.social Conference 2025 with @colinmccormick.bsky.social & @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social’s powerful presentation of local, national and international approaches to learning about Liverpool’s history of slave-trading and enslavement. #SHP25

Tom Allen masterpiece. Watch his @histassoc.bsky.social session before it expires if you can

One account describes a retreating soldier: "We sensed somehow that these men had seen hell...He half turned, & indicating the weary straggling figures before him, shrugged expressively, [and said]: 'General fucked up.....Back where they fucking well started.'" That general was my great grandpa.

Listen to @oblaize.bsky.social he knows what he's talking about! Come and join Otis and Justice2History for their workshop on Decolonisation and the British Empire. Tickets available here SHP Summer Conference 2025 | Leeds Trinity University Online Store share.google/6BoMprddy3g1...

So Oak's new AI lesson planner has really got me thinking. Who exactly is it aimed at? My guess is that the most likely people to use it are new teachers and those with limited subject knowledge on a topic. So how well does it do the job if that's you? I thought I'd try it out...

And here it is. Finally. Surrounded by some of the scholarship that shaped it. It’s beautiful and such fun to teach - it has given my Year 8 class stories to live inside. A parent messaged me to say history has ‘never been so fun!’ - all I did was tell the class stories from this book.

So the fabulous @anniehewett.bsky.social is leading CPD at Durrington next year. I’ve bought her a gift @ensermark.bsky.social & @greeborunner.bsky.social 😉

Why wouldn't you work with Hugh if you had the chance?

Have seen the Policy Exchange "Lessons from the Past" report pop up a bit recently (in rel to Curric review & depts looking at their curriculua). Thought it was time I had a look.. Quick ver: some useful but not novel findings in a problematic package full of contradictions. #historyteacher 🧵 /1
