Nothing like a bit of mid-week CPD on the Yorkshire Museum's new Viking North exhibit - handling 1000 year old objects is such an amazing feeling! @yorkmuseumstrust.bsky.social

We also used Catherine Hall's Legacies of Slavery maps to find compensation case studies local to teachers through work/home/family/etc. A great way of making Transatlantic Slavery feel relevant for our students, no matter their context. So important to highlight these great free resources!

WOW! What a weekend. #SHP25 was my first @1972shp.bsky.social conference but definitely won't be my last
Had the opportunity to present for the 1st time, on teaching TAST on a local/national/international scale. Padlets were produced during the sessions - showing how we work best when sharing ideas🧠

What a day! Today I hosted a full day of CPD for Uni of York's History ITTs - action-packed, with a morning inspired by a mini-Fellowship on Health + Post Office @histassoc.bsky.social & an afternoon using the new Transatlantic Slavery textbook to go Beyond the Metropole. A great day with great ITTs

Nothing I love more than a local history talk, *especially* when it's all about legacy too! 🌳 what a great event to mark 100 years since Joseph Rowntree's funeral
