We always promote (as we should!) research-led teaching but tbh I find teaching-led research even more enjoyable. I love working through ideas because I'm teaching something related, or making connections because of something I had to teach

The post is inspired by a conversation I overheard on the train, which got me thinking about the way that historical training at a higher level changes how you think about and approach the world, and especially how you interact with other human beings. 🗃️ #Humanities

Well what an unreal long run that was this morning in Trento along the river admiring the mountains. Also my first 15k since 2020 and all in aid of fighting dementia - so here is where I shake my tin again. £2 - less than your morning coffee - would mean the world! www.justgiving.com/page/emilie-...

When I was doing my Chartered Accountancy exams, the tutors said that those with History or Geography degrees generally performed best. I outperformed those with Accountancy degrees after three months. The benefits of a degree have been lost in the conversation around industry/apprenticeships.

***History at the "End of History"*** Prof Toby Green will be giving the 2026 Hobsbawm Memorial Lecture on Thurs, June 18th at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social, discussing the general crisis, political assaults on the discipline and the impact of AI. Register here: www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...

The 2026 Eric Hobsbawm
Memorial Lecture
History at
the 'End of
History':
Inequality and
Discourse in
the Age of
Reimperialism
Professor
Toby Green
Three decades after Fukuyama challenged Eric
Hobsbawm’s Marxist history, a new ‘end of history’
is on the horizon. The rise of Artificial Intelligence,
the assault on reading and thought independent of
computation, and on the other hand the production
of endless deepfakes all challenge the future of the
historical profession. This lecture places this juncture
of crisis within the historical frame of the last three
decades. The expansion of mass inequalities, on
national and global levels, has shaped a frame in which
institutionalised history is inevitably now deemed
a threat to the consolidation of these economic
‘gains’ in an era of reimperialisms of all kinds

If you or your students research any aspect of British, Irish or British colonial/imperial history (Roman empire to today) and need a tool that will never hallucinate sources, check out the BBIH. It develops research skills rather than repressing them. Instit. & indiv. subscriptions available.
