@sashasmith.bsky.social and Susannah Boyd from @endsexisminschools.bsky.social discussing why women's herstories continue to be marginalised, and sharing ways to disrupt the dominant narrative

SHP was really good - especially enjoyed the @endsexisminschools.bsky.social resources (and seeing @sashasmith.bsky.social) and good catching up with people I only see at conferences @siobhan-profaska.bsky.social, @historyrichk.bsky.social @msquinnhistory.bsky.social #historyteacher

SHP CALL-OUT: Alongside my ESIS workshop, I’ll be running a fringe session next Saturday where we will explore your curriculum challenges and use ESIS resources, research and collective expertise to identify meaningful ways to include women’s stories in YOUR curriculum.

#HistoryEducation #historyteacher s check out endsexisminschools.org.uk for more info on this project. Only 12% of history lessons include women as a main focus. Women are 51% of the population in England and Wales (this is not a recent phenomenon)!

Local History has been championed by the Schools History Project since the 1970s! When our pioneering predecessors, SCHP, wrote their seminal book, A New Look at History, in 1976 they talked about a new course for history students to study, which they called History Around Us ...

A wonderful evening graduating in the stunning Lincoln Cathedral. I’d always wanted to do my MA but I just wanted to get started teaching. Two years ago I decided, why not? So whilst working full time, becoming assistant head, and solo parenting, I did it! And loved every minute 📚
