Thanks Katie. Yes, I really hope that what comes out of the research will be able to be shared with boards. I will be taking the findings and hopefully working alongside Indigenous educators and elders to consider the implications for teaching and course design here in the UK.

Taking part in Alex’s research will be massively helpful not only to him but to the wider community as we move towards looking at reforming history qualifications.

I swear this is how 'ancient' customs start. In 20 years, tour guides will be talking about how the Keeper of the King's Podium plays a key ceremonial role in the UK's unwritten constitution, and it's unclear from where the role emerged but it's believed to trace its origins back to Henry VI, etc

Calling A-level English teachers! Do you teach Austen, Brontë, or other 18thc stuff? Could you use a set of free research-informed teaching materials, which support students' historical, literary, & linguistic understanding, & foster debate about misogyny, consent, & healthy relationships? (1/?)

Screenshot of a website with text that reads as follows, and an image of a manuscript letter:

Teaching and learning materials
We have produced a set of resources for A-level English teachers. They focus on an extraordinary sequence of letters written between Mary Hamilton - then a governess to the daughters of George III and Queen Charlotte - and the young Prince of Wales, the future George IV.

Using the supporting resources, these letters can be studied as a powerful narrative with modern-day #MeToo echoes, as contextualising support for Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte;'s novels, or as examples of eighteenth-century English.

To access the free resources, please register below (you will only be asked to provide your name, school and email address). You will then be directed to a download page.

This is exactly the kind of policy that should be left to headteachers, who know what will work best for their own school (and almost all have strict curbs on phones anyway). But the government wants the headline.

There is just one week left to view our current temporary exhibition 'A Fair Field and No Favour: The History of Women in Surgery'. If you can't see it in person, the exhibition is available on our free digital guide: guides.bloombergconnects.org/en-US/guide/...

There is a female arm wearing a Victorian style sleeve in the top left hand corner and a hand in the bottom right hand corner wearing a surgical glove. Each hand is holding a white square with black text on it which reads "New Temporary Exhibition A Fair Field and No Favour: The History of Women in Surgery opens Saturday the 5th of April 2025". The background is dark blue.

"On Holocaust Memorial Day we need more history, not just more memory" bit.ly/4t6wPx6 Dr Andy Pearce, Director of @uclholocaust.bsky.social, writes today on the RHS blog. #Skystorians

Front page of Royal Historical Society blog post with image of the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, photograph by Rudolph Simon, 2013, Wilkimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.

Text reads: "On Holocaust Memorial Day we need more history, not just more memory' and abstract: In this post, Andy Pearce – Director of the Centre for Holocaust Education at UCL – considers the current levels of knowledge of the Holocaust among UK secondary school students. UCL studies, in 2016 and 2026, reveal a troubling and enduring divergence between popular understandings of the persecution and murder of Jews in Europe, in the 1930s and 1940s, and the findings of scholarly historical research. 27 January 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day in Britain. As Andy argues, prevalent and popular misperceptions risk being sustained if the Holocaust becomes a subject for remembrance and memory, rather than of history and historical scholarship. It is only though ‘more history’, shared widely and publicly, that we may seek to redress error, distortion and denial."
