Hi #historyteacher people. I am hurtling towards PhD research deadlines and looking for any TEACHERS and PUPILS who might help out by completing a survey about GCSE American West. Aim is to explore pupil metanarratives about Indigenous peoples and US expansion. Thread has more on the surveys.

We have nearly sold out our SHP Understanding event on Teaching History through an Emotional Lens, at the British Library on Saturday October 10th! But there are still some tickets left from www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shp-unders... come and join us for a really inspiring afternoon.

Oh wow! I would think @danlyndon.bsky.social may have some ideas. This looks amazing.

See this thread for ideas about learning opportunities once you have these! (Starts as Bayeux Tapestry thread then links to work by @jenturnerhistory.bsky.social and @arthurjchapman.bsky.social ) bsky.app/profile/msqu...

A real missed opportunity that @nosycrow.bsky.social and the British Museum haven’t sent copies of these to schools or started a scheme that we can purchase some at a reduced price. www.britishmuseumshoponline.org/the-bayeux-t...

A real triumph @1972shp.bsky.social this summer, Dan, I agree! Like you, I'll still thinking through the very powerful ideas that the conference shared (I'm blown away by @profdanhicks.bsky.social book, not least!). Thank you for curating this powerful learning experience for us all so expertly!

Check out my latest Director's Blog - Simply the Best, reflecting on the fantastic SHP Summer Conference in July director.schoolshistoryproject.co.uk/2026/09/05/s...

Catching-up with this (a generation on from publication…). The phrase ‘intellectual invalid’ (p.261) resonates - marvellous double-meaning: (1) wounded in the battle of ideas, forced to withdraw from the fray, etc; & (2) someone whose logic no longer compels…

*Time to register* Chartism Day 2026, Warwick, Saturday 19 September All welcome www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/chartism-d...

Exciting to be getting ready for the start of @heirnet.bsky.social 2026 at the Universita Delga Studi di Padova this morning. Over 150 papers from history educators around the world.

One of the fundamental flaws in the way that atrocity is often studied is that we tend to ask how perpetrators could bring themselves to do something so self-evidently wrong - when the question really ought to be how killing unarmed men, women and children came to be seen as the *right* thing to do

@marnieh-w.bsky.social’s keynote @1972shp.bsky.social’s annual conference today was remarkable. Lots of synergy between Marnie’s themes - e.g., responsible use of AI tools and narratives - and the wider themes of the conference. #SHP26 1/3

Important to listen to Prof Dan Hicks challenging us to rethink categories and to reflect on art, memory, othering, militarism, empire, time and imperatives to change. #SHP26

John Clare's grave, sirrounded by school children's midsummer cushions in St Botolph's chirvhyard, Helpston, today, at the JC society festival.

Really thought provoking exploration of the cognitive ethics of AI-generated representations of the past @1972shp.bsky.social with Dan Nuttall and Ruth Lingard. #SHP26 Exploring the flaws of images and stories and the sources that AI agents have used to construct them.

Interesting listening to Ben Walsh, Andrew Payne and Laura Howey @1972shp.bsky.social conference explain how they have used AI, trained in criteria for source analysis, to help develop student’s ability to answer enquiry questions and construct argued answers. Lots to work with here! #SHP26

Interesting discussion of the affordances and constraints of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to history education @1972shp.bsky.social with @uclholocaust.bsky.social and @cpaucl.bsky.social’s Dr Andy Pearce. #SHP26

Exciting 2B thinking with history teachers about analogy & explanation @1972shp.bsky.social conference in Leeds 2day with Daniel Magnoff. Gr8 2 revisit the focus of my 1st SHP conference presentation in 2006 (the Alphonse the camel analogical story) in that context with new empirical data. #SHP26.

Congratulations to my @citizenshippgceioe.bsky.social colleague Jeremy Hayward on this @schoolsweek.bsky.social article sharing @cpaucl.bsky.social's vital work on education to challenge conspiracy theory in education. schoolsweek.co.uk/we-need-to-p...

We must prepare children for the online world's realities

The curriculum must stop teaching for an analogue age and keep up with the information revolution
