  • ‘You should be proud about your history. They make you feel ashamed’: Teaching history hurts

      Teaching History article
    As history teachers we are used to encouraging pupils to think; enabling them to express thoughts with clarity both verbally and in written form. Yet, if history as a school subject becomes purely cognitive, then something is missing. History deals with human behaviour and therefore the affective and the emotional...

  • "...someone might become involved in a fascist group or something...": pupils' perceptions of history at the end of Key Stages 2, 3 and 4

      Teaching History article
    In contrast with earlier studies which presented a bleak picture of the impact of history teaching, Paul Goalen presents a small-scale study that is optimistic. For pupils in three schools at least, the history teaching of the late 1990s seems to be winning through. Goalen argues that the National Curriculum...

      Teaching History article
    Christine Counsell sets out her concerns about the effects on history teaching of recent trends in secondary assessment practice.

  • Slavery in Britain

      Primary History article

  • British Women in the Nineteenth Century

      Classic Pamphlet
    A short pamphlet surveying the historical record of rather more than half the population of Britain over a period of a hundred years must of necessity be sketchy and incomplete. The great interest in history of women which has arisen in the last few decades has produced a great deal...

  • The Investiture Disputes

      Classic Pamphlet
    Historical labels are dictated by a wayward fashion; and the name which is still most commonly associated with the first struggle of Empire and Papacy (1076-1122). "The Investiture Disputes," is neither lucid or appropriate. It has been commoner for historians to name the great wars of history after the issues...

      The magazine of the Historical Association
    Read The Historian 153: The Baltic It once seemed natural for anyone leaving Britain to go south, rather than north. There were practical reasons for this.
