Luminaries in the subject are getting set for a trailblazing forum to exchange ideas. The Scottish Association of History Teachers runs the biggest event in its history, 18-20 May, linking up with experts from England, Wales and Ireland.
The event will build upon the huge success of the associations Learning from each other conference held in Edinburgh in November, President Neil McLennan explains. From that event, we managed to pull together primary teachers, secondary teachers, heritage education providers and college and university lecturers.
Mr McLennan has long been impressed with how seriously teachers in England take action research, so this will be the focus during the Saturday session of the conference in Aberdeen. Saturdays keynote speaker will be Ewen Cameron, professor of Scottish history at the University of Edinburgh, with his presentation The Global Turn of Scottish History. The launch of new history qualifications will be a main attraction on the Sunday, while Dauvit Broun, professor of medieval Scottish history at the University of Glasgow, will deliver a talk entitled The Breaking of Britain.
