ALES Lunchtime Seminar - An Introduction to the Chesters inclusive teaching module: What archives can do to help get local marginalised histories into the classroom
Speaker: Dr Jeff Evans
Dr Jeff Evans has built on his and his husband's years of teaching practice to develop the Chesters inclusive teaching Module. This aims to provide trainee history teachers with the validation and skills to teach LGBT+ (and other marginalised) History in the classroom. Working with his academic colleagues Tom Donnai (PGCE History Tutor University of Manchester) and Claire Hadfield (PGCE Course Tutor Plymouth Marjon University) the module has been significantly developed over the last four years.
Jeff’s talk ‘An Introduction to the Chesters inclusive teaching Module: what archives can do to help get local marginalised histories into the classroom’, explores its applicability to a range of marginalised histories, he will share examples of resources and lessons, and suggest what archives and archivists can do to help teachers go beyond tokenism to engage diverse students with a diverse past.
