In this new blog I show how Paul Marshall (GB News, The Spectator, UnHerd) and Michael Gove are frustrated by @willdalrymple.bsky.social’s erudite & rival influence on the public’s historical understanding. Also, how the British Empire is *really* taught in schools: alanlester.co.uk/blog/teachin...

Thanks for asking Ali! Well, first, we have our (reasonably) regular History SIG Seminars (here - blogs.ucl.ac.uk/hie-sig/). 1/5

A PS, since it's me rather than IOE. I've a few things that may be of interest here - including on Historical Interpretation, Historical Explanation & the Aims of HistEd. Mostly open-access. thecamelsback.org. The blog's a bit under-developed but there's material there on narrative ethics also.
