Matthew McCormack from History has co-edited a new book on new approaches to teaching the subject. Co-edited with Ruth Larsen (Derby) and Alice Marples (British Library), Innovations in Teaching History: Eighteenth-Century Studies in Higher Education is now out with University of London Press.
The book contains seven chapters, which provide case studies for how to teach the eighteenth century. These focus on the themes of digital history, history in the classroom and the use of objects in learning. Matthew’s chapter focuses on his module HIS3018 ‘Citizenship and Gender in Britain’, and explores how to engage students with the unfamiliar topic of eighteenth-century political history.
The book arose from two workshops hosted by the University of Northampton and funded by the East Midlands Centre for Teaching and Learning in History.
The book is open access so is free to read online. It is also available in paperback and hardback here.
