Excited to be off to @histassoc (#HAconf23) to find out what this #historyteacher lark is about. Also to sign up partners for potential co-design of new Age of Revolution @Waterloo200org resources, including new graphic novel on Billy Waters & CPD on #AmericanRevolution for 2024

Please to have played a (very small) part in this result as part of the work I did during the early days of the @Waterloo200org project with @Culture24 which has done so much to change the way this vital epoch is taught & thought about.

Dr Ben Marsh's work on the Age of Revolution project had a major impact on how this neglected period of history is understood and taught in schools, using some really innovative methods! ageofrevolution.org/

This is a brilliant thread. Back in 2015 we were privileged to work with @Waterloo200org to produce work for schools for the bicentenary of Waterloo. The website includes this, many other artefacts and has been hugely improved over time: ageofrevolution.org/
Thanks to social media this is one of the most famous battlefield relics from Napoleonic era. It captures the moment of a man's death. It is not a joke or a Monty Python sketch about a scratch. It might not seem so funny if we knew more about the man and his death. 1/10

It is moving, when walking along an ordinary street on an ordinary Saturday morning, to be reminded of the significance of this place in the history of radical democratic thought.

The Legacies of British Slave-Ownership team provided a vast amount of underpinning research for the @nationaltrust report. A blog from academics I admire shows why this generation's historical work is so important #ColonialCountryside lbsatucl.wordpress.com/

A new project to help students understand the thought process of historians. "How Historians Think" will focus on a specific concept or skill and attempt to visualise the process. "Historical Significance" Heavily influenced by @histassoc and @Counsell_C.
