  • Whose past is it anyway? Telling Russian and Soviet history through diverse Jewish voices

  • Cunning Plan 183: Teaching a broader Britain, 1625–1714

      Teaching History feature
    ‘Gruesome!’ was how we decided to describe our teaching of seventeenth-century British history, although ‘inadequate’ was probably more accurate. Oh, how much was wrong!  We had… Incoherence.

  • 1968: the year of reckoning

      Historian article
    Hugh Gault explains why, 50 years later, 1968 is still remembered as a dramatic year. 1967 was 'the summer of love', and that spirit continued into 1968; but there were also many events in 1968 that were of a different sort, when the liberty of 1967 was accompanied by a...
