Of course, you can also stay in touch through our website or membership!

The existing X feed will not be going anywhere, but we will no longer be actively updating it.

Instead, it's BlueSky and LinkedIn for the most part - and TikTok on special occasions...

[History of Education @HistEdSocUK]

As you may have noticed, the History of Education Society has been migrating away from X over the past four months. But we want to make sure that we take all of you with us!

Our primary form of social media will now be BlueSky, where you can find us @histedsoc.bsky.social.

Even TikTok!

Hello everyone,

Today is my final day as Peter Gosden Fellow.
I've enjoyed updating HES's socials over the last 2 years, updating the official website, and leading on the launch of our PGR Hub.

Look forward to a new Fellow keeping you all in the loop tomorrow!

- Jenny

Congratulations to Dr Jenny Crowdy (Peter Gosden Fellow) on being awarded her PhD! Jenny's research centred on the concept of creativity in the digital age, tracing the history of the word, and how we can encounter it today.

Sunday thought ☕📖

From books to laptops, oral exams to online submissions, education has always been changing. Studying its history reminds us that today’s debates have deep roots.

#histed Object from the Past!

Before creative writing was encouraged, pupils learned by copying model texts line by line. These copybooks trained handwriting, grammar, and moral conduct all at once; often containing maxims like “Industry is the road to happiness.”
