The following may be of interest to HTEN members and others who are involved in history teacher education:

HEIRNET Conference 2021

History Educators International Research Network [HEIRNET] are about to launch the three day HEIRNET 2021 VIRTUAL ONLINE conference from 31st August to Thursday 2nd September, see attached flyer. Hopefully the conference will be of interest and significance for History Educators involved in initial and continuing professional development.

HERJ

The History Education Research Journal, a relatively recent development (started in 2018) - https://www.uclpress.co.uk/pages/history-education-research-journal. The journal does what it says on the tin (publishes history education research) and is open access (so can be read with ease by all). It's peer-reviewed, has all the bells and whistles we'd expect from an academic journal, and it's published by UCL Press. HERJ would be delighted to receive article submissions or enquiries about potential articles from members of HTEN and their networks. It would also be delighted if colleagues could draw it to the attention of their students and colleagues and are always looking for peer reviewers as well as contributors. If colleagues are interested in peer-reviewing for HERJ, please email htenuk@gmail.com 

HIESIG

The History Special Interest Group at UCL (https://londonhiesig.wordpress.com/) runs regular online workshops and seminars that publicise through this blog that may be of interest to colleagues. The Group is trying (although there's a back log) to get videos of all recent sessions (since January) up on the Events page (https://londonhiesig.wordpress.com/events-3/). They hope these might be of interest to colleagues and to their students with a seminar and workshop programme being put together for next year together soon (i.e. in July) and it would be great to hear from anyone who would like to offer a seminar presentation or to run a workshop.

Pastfwd 2020
Carla Peck, Caitriona Ni Cassaithe, Lindsay Gibson, Nick Dennis and Arthur Chapman started this initiative last summer that might be of interest - https://pastfwd.weebly.com/. The idea was to generate online discussion through short video 'provocations' around contemporary history education issues. One idea we had in mind in creating these was using them in teaching (e.g. we've a 15 minute provocation on using sources in history that might be useful in a seminar, another on aims, and so on). They are always looking for contributions and have posted 10 so far from history teacher educators and researchers, teachers and (so far) one history student.

 

Public History Weekly

PHW is an open access journal looking at public history (including history education) - https://public-history-weekly.degruyter.com/. It publishes at least one short post on public history every week. PHW may be of interest to both colleagues and their students. A recent post that I particularly enjoyed is this: https://public-history-weekly.degruyter.com/9-2021-3/public-history-ghana/
