An important historical example for these darkening times. Sounds like a great exhibition!
'The thread that runs through the exhibition is this: no matter the context [...] as individuals, as people, we can come together, we can organise, and there's power to that.'

How have History Workshop Journal articles been used to teach history over the past 50 years?

From the French Revolution, to policing in early modern England, to LGBTQ+ histories, these reflections highlight the HWJ archive as a valuable resource within many different classrooms.

It was exciting to be invited to help celebrate @historyworkshop.org.uk’s anniversary, especially as it gave me yet another reason to rave about teaching with Michaela Kalcher’s work on trauma, the Terror, and an incredible diary doi.org/10.1093/hwj/...

Didn’t get my submission in this year unfortunately but a great list again from the HW team.

If I had have, my top read was Polly Barton’s translation of Saou Ichikawa’s award winning “Hunchback”, a short book with a mighty punch as it tackles ableism, sex and agency, all in 100ish pages.
