Liam Brockey @lbrockey.bsky.social · 16/12/2024So, friends, I've been teaching early modern history for over 20 years and I feel like I can't teach the Reformation anymore. It's not that I don't think my lectures are effective, it's that I don't think the students have any connection to the subject. Has anyone felt this recently? #earlymodern 18163
