A unique collaboration between HistoryLab+, HistoryLab, and History UK, ‘Teaching in a Time of Crisis’ brings together educators, historians, researchers and practitioners to explore how history education can navigate and respond to contemporary crises. As educators, we must adapt our methods, rethink our pedagogies, and explore innovative ways to engage students while addressing the complexities of the present moment.
