Excited to end the year with the publication of this article about the critical pedagogies for history teaching at an institution like SOAS. I’m keen to know how this resonates with work on these issues in other contexts @soashistory.bsky.social @soasuni.bsky.social

New today in Transactions: 'Teaching History Inclusively: A Pedagogical Case Study from an Institution Shaped by Empire' bit.ly/4pHzECD Eleanor Newbigin and Sarah Tucker on the value of developing critical pedagogies in history for HE education @soashistory.bsky.social #Skystorians 1/2

Front page to the Transactions article: 'Teaching History Inclusively: A Pedagogical Case Study from an Institution Shaped by Empire'. Abstract in full: 'The Royal Historical Society’s June 2024 Update to the ‘Race Ethnicity & Equality in UK History: A Report and Resource for Change’ notes some important progress in terms of increased ethnic and racial diversity amongst history students and staff but acknowledges that more work is needed to both sustain and further advance these changes. In this Comment we argue that colleagues and the RHS should prioritise the development of critical pedagogies in history university education and evidence their impact on student outcomes. We share reflections on and data from our collaborative work between September 2021 and August 2024 developing an innovative module with the highly diverse history student cohort at SOAS, University of London, to help colleagues consider how they might undertake related projects in their own institutions.'
