It's too expensive

What a wonderful weekend at #haconf25. Liverpool was beautiful and the workshops were all on point. See you in Newcastle (and yes I've changed my mind about that).

Superb work from @colinmccormick.bsky.social and @katieamery.bsky.social - genuinely inspiring and can’t wait to read the book about Liverpool and the Transatlantic Slave Trade

People, places and a pinch of discipline.

Here's my slides from #soane25 if that floats your boat. The script is below each slide.

Too often you hear talks at conferences where people show the final product and it can make some people feel they'll never achieve this. But more process and reflection gives confidence

Rich @richkhistory.bsky.social · Feb 9

The thing I really enjoyed about #soane25 yesterday was the people who explained how things hadn't worked first time. They were honest about their mistakes. Teaching isn't an exact science and it was joyful to hear of people's experimentation. More honesty and failures at conferences please.

Back in Bristol after a brilliant day at #Soane25. Chapeau to @michaeldoron.bsky.social for organising another cracking conference.

Delivering that speech at the end with Eamonn Duffy sitting in front row was one of the more marginally terrifying things I've ever done.

#Soane25 will be a cracker. Just look at the keynotes. @richkhistory.bsky.social is inspirational in his ambition & scholarship – a must listen.
Then Eamon Duffy talking with Steve Mastin who famously used Duffy's research to recreate Morebath in his classroom!

#Historyteachers do not miss this.
