Michelle - could you please forward this to the CCWS mailing list for me? Peter's paper will deal with issues of empire and national identity, and will undoubtedly be of interest to many CCWS regulars.

Thanks Mark

The History of Ideas Seminar Series will host Peter Yeandle of Lancaster University on Monday 26th of May.

Peter's paper, entitled 'Teaching turn-of-the-twentieth-century schoolchildren to tell the national time: continuity, identity and national sameness in lessons in historical literacy', will compare the teaching of history in Britain in the 1880s and the 1980s, with reference to the role the Empire and ideas of Empire played in the ideological constructions of Britain's past that have been presented to schoolchildren.

The Seminar will take place in Pathfoot H3, from 4pm to 6pm.

Refreshments are provided.

All welcome!

For more information, please contact Mark Nixon, Dept of History.
