Throwback to 3 weeks ago, when we joined the brilliant @HistoryLabPlus ECR conference, to share our work in York (and in other cities with @UnOxProject and @UnCamProject ) with a stellar lineup of scholars and heritage practitioners!
Anna Hill is now sharing the principles and practice behind the brilliant @UnYorkProject tours: discussion-based, educational, barrier-breaking, promoting critical analysis…
