Global History “hackathons”: doing global history through local archives #GlobalHistHack22.
Latest project: Frank Willett, Hunterian Nigerian Yoruba Collection
It’s here! Download our “Global History Hackathon Playbook” and find out how you can use hackathons (in archives, museums, libraries, anywhere) as a vehicle to engage learners, consult service users, enable fresh perspectives, & design creative projects: https://t.co/WJ8GAxhfhO
Today @vlcook93 and I introduced 118 Level 1 students @UofGlasgowESH to @UofGlasgowASC using Virtual Collections Classroom. I could tell the students enjoyed it (as did I!). As @vlcook93 said, it was fantastic to see their confidence in a large group setting. I’ll be talking 1/
📢📢 Lecturer post (7-months) History of modern Middle East & North Africa #MENA@UofGlasgow, please share widely. Glasgow is an amazing city, @UofGlasgowESH is a really friendly supportive working environment, & I will share teaching materials with the appointee #Twitterstorians
Huge congratulations to our Lecturer in Global Economic & Social History @MedicalMaghrib who won the University Award Early Career (College of Social Sciences) at the University's Teaching Excellence Awards 2021-21 🌟👏
If you are a @UofGESHSoc member who took Level 1A with me this year, and you want to use the “Ghosts” app but don’t have the resources, please DM me. I would be glad to pay for 3 students to experience the app. https://t.co/lSEcIoxoo8
Also a reminder that this offer is still open for five more students who did ESH 1A this year! Contact Dr Clark on Twitter/via Email to take advantage of it - the last day to use it is Sunday so be quick!
“Hackathons aren’t just about coding”. However you want to teach with #hackathons, @LisaDeBruine & I have you covered. I’ll share tips from @HistGlobal history hacking @UofGlasgowASC archives & @hunterian exhibits with more than 240 students @UofGlasgowESH. Hope to see you there!
With room space no longer a limitation, Virtual Collections Classroom has allowed us to share our collections live to 200 of @MedicalMaghrib’s first year students simultaneously https://t.co/eoKRiRuu1t #ArchiveOutreach#Archive30
Me, waves hands in direction of very cool old stuff: “hackathons aren’t just about coding”. @LisaDeBruine, performs brilliant coding feats & produces amazing coding resources for students: “but they do importantly involve coding”. Something for everyone in this event! #Hackathons
Now to live up to @ArthurAsseraf's promise. My students are learning what to do if you fall sick in early 20th-C Algeria. As well as making their own hruz (amulets), they work with digital manuscripts, material objects, and sounds. I'll share a source a day so you can all join in

We did and it was so much fun! Students gave thoughtful and positive feedback that we look forward to disseminating to colleagues. The tech is brilliant but so too is team @UofGlasgowASC#GlobalHistHack20
I am so happy to hear this @AnnZuntz! Thank you for sharing. I hope hacking generated community + lots of creativity for all the participants, would love to hear more. Such an important project #SyrianFoodFuture#WorldFoodDay
The places we care for reflect a range of global histories and we’re responsible for telling their stories. To help us share these accurate and full histories, we've released a report exploring the links between historic places and slavery and colonialism: https://t.co/8N2fyk9lCd
Thanks so much for the questions @jamesrmcd, you brilliantly and succinctly outlined the research I see myself doing over the next however many years! Such a pleasure to have this conversation with you and others-many thanks @C_E_M_A_T for the opportunity
Can’t wait to use this next month with students in Level 1 @UofGlasgowESH! We’ll be looking at African Lakes Company staff records from the 1890s as part of a block on “Family and Empire”. @benvwilkie wish you could join us but it will be streaming in middle of the night for you!
