Hello! Introducing a brand new, free history teacher story exchange. This is for any history teacher who has written a historical story for use in the classroom, and wants to give others the chance to use it. We’ll host any submissions on our Google Drive. Happy submitting!

Delighted to be joining this team, and having the opportunity to educate about this important region! Schools in Oxford, if you fancy a rich, exciting and historically rigorous session for your students about the Middle East, please let me know.
EXCITING LAUNCH: Outreach to pupils in #Oxfordshire secondary schools on documents and history of #Iran, #CentralAsia and #Afghanistan. The fantastic @Zaiba_ is driving our efforts to make it interactive, informative, and fun! invisibleeast.web.ox.ac.uk/p… @ahrcpress @ERC_Research

Below are some particularly powerful points in the report & reflections🧵👇 1/5
