I’ve written something about communicating arguments to, and how these arguments can empower, History undergrads. It’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to write it.

How should #History undergraduates communicate in essays?
In a new post for @RoyalHistSoc's blog, Elizabeth Goodwin (@YorkStJohn) asserts the importance of encouraging, and hearing, students' voices and personal opinions in their work bit.ly/3V1gFWD #twitterstorians

One of the biggest problems with UK public policy in recent years has been its short-term thinking and lack of historical context. Something many @UKRI_News-funded projects are trying to address including my own @ESRCSchoolMeals

Recollections of school lunches often evoke strong feelings – both good and bad! How do your memories compare to your parents’ or grandparents’ experiences? Heather and Izzy are spending a few days with us this week listening to some of our oral history recordings.
