Thursday April 17, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT
202
University of Sheffield PGCE geography and history tutors and students collaborated on an alternative cross-curricular KS3 study of Sheffield's industrial growth and urbanisation, unearthing hidden connections to imperialism, enslavement and global trade. This session will share the learning from this project and explore how its principles could be applied to create decolonised learning schemes and teaching resources elsewhere.
