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’, will be held using Microsoft Teams from 1-2pm on Monday 15 May 2023. In his presentation, Jeff will introduce the 
Module and how it came to be developed.  Exploring 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.  

 

The event will cost £5 for ARA members and £10 for non-members.  Please book your place on 

Eventbrite by Monday 8 May 2023. Information on how to join the session on Teams will be sent to attendees a couple of days ahead of the event. If you have any further questions about this event, please get in touch with ALES at: [log in to unmask]
