A *free* book on History and AI from @marnieh-w.bsky.social. It can be downloaded from the link until the 6th August. Part of the Cambridge Elements series from @universitypress.cambridge.org www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Delighted to attend #SHP26 & see the same enthusiasm, depth of thought, inventiveness & sense of community that's characterised the conference since 1989 - and also a real pleasure to hear first timers praise the welcome they received and the respect they're shown.

Some wonderful discussion here with @fredoxby.bsky.social about principles for teaching empire. Love the idea of getting pupils involved in ethical decision making about the use of language. #historyteacher #SHP26

A fantastic @1972shp.bsky.social conference this weekend. It provides space for thinking, reflection and agreeable disagreement, all with a community feel. Thanks to @danlyndon.bsky.social, the wider team and workshop leaders/keynotes. I’m including a picture of egalitarian cheese. IYKYK. #SHP26

Two examples of why the @1972shp.bsky.social conference helps build reflection. @marnieh-w.bsky.social and @profdanhicks.bsky.social talking about AI, assessment and public memory.

Wonderful piece on the widespread failure to teach the British enough about Empire by a proper specialist in the subject, the great Alan Lester @aljhlester. Full of interesting background about Gove and his extremist paymaster, Paul Marshall that I didn't know alanlester.co.uk/blog/teachin...

I have a lot of thoughts about this interview with Michael Grade, the former chair of Ofcom. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

GB News critics want to limit free speech to ‘liberal, Islington consensus’, Grade says

Former Ofcom chair says he welcomed arrival of rightwing news channel five years ago in name of ‘plurality’

You will have read the story about the KPMG report on agentic AI with fabricated references. Only five appear to be genuine. My latest post on how teachers are doing the unglamorous work on verifying what is true in the age of agentic AI and 'vibe citing'. open.substack.com/pub/nickdenn...

Really looking forward to attending the @1972shp.bsky.social conference in July.
