  • Pipes's punctuation and making complex historical claims

      Teaching History article
    Long, unreadable sentences in her students' essays led Rachel Foster to improve her post-16 students' punctuation. Her journey resulted, however, in more than improved punctuation.

Foster created an intervention in which students...

  • Hungarian Nationalism in International Context

      Historian article
    All aspects of Hungarian nationalism – with one exception, which I shall consider later – had more or less similar counterparts elsewhere in Europe; but the blending of those elements yielded a unique constellation.
