Lessons from History

The Geographical Association is not the only subject association... (although it is the best of course...)
Just been working on a project due to hit the web early next year, which deals with the teaching of controversial issues.
As part of this, did some other research.
Just been reading a project which was completed by the Historical Association.
The T.E.A.C.H project has a great acronymic name: it stands for "Teaching Emotive and Controversial History" 3-19
Historians find themselves teaching events such as the Holocaust, and also what are called "social, cultural, religious and ethnic fault lines within and beyond Britain"...
It is related to the issue of inequality and "unfairness".
The current FOOD CRISIS facing families in the UK and across the world is very uneven in its impact, and this is the basis for the work I am doing at the moment.
I'll keep you posted...
