Episode 31: Global Migrations with Bob Stradling

We are joined by the head of the Historiana Content Team ⁠Dr. Robert Stradling⁠ to talk about his new project on migration history. The topic is highly present in contemporary political discourse and therefore, Bob argues, crucial to teach in order to make history feel relevant for today's students. Bob has a long track record with EuroClio and has also worked extensively in the past with the Council of Europe on history education and we also discuss with him how he sees the developments in history education in the last decades and where we are today.

EuroClio recently had the pleasure to host students from two schools who joined us in The Hague for our Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to The Hague workshop. We chat with Ailia Criddle and Julia Karam from the American International School in Cyprus about their experience coming to learn about various aspects of international justice, including those related to genocide and crimes against humanity, as well as their own views on international law and justice.

Episode 25: Digital Citizenship

Maayke and Andreas speak with Professor Joseph Kahne (from the Civic Engagement Research Group at the University of California, Riverside) about digital citizenship in education. We discuss the spread of misinformation, but also how digital citizenship can lead to greater participation in public life. With the fast-paced digitisation and automation underway, what can teachers and educators do to navigate new technologies and realities? More on how teachers can do to support students in developing media literacy? Have a look at Prof. Kahne's publication 'Misinformation in the Information Age' Discover more useful resources for teachers with EuroClio's project Watching Videos Like an Historian

Episode 24: Historical fiction in the classroom

We speak with South African broadcaster and author Joanne Joseph about her novel Children of Sugarcane, set mostly in 19th century colonial India and South Africa and telling the story of a female indentured Indian labourer migrating to work at a plantation in the Colony of Natal. We speak about Joanne's own family history and how it inspired her to dig deeper into what has been a largely neglected story of shared Indian, South-African and British history. We also discuss the merits of teaching history through fiction and the wider role of education both in her book and in society at large. More on historical fiction in the classroom? Sign up for EuroClio's webinar with history teacher Sally Burham on 11 July!
