The programme is led by experienced teacher educators Abdul Mohamud and Robin Whitburn from Justice to History. Participants are working closely with the course leaders and LSE academics Professors Tirthankar Roy, Leigh Gardner and Mohamed Saleh, to draw on their professional expertise and develop resources for classroom use.

The programme is fully funded by the Department of Economic History at LSE in partnership with the Historical Association. Accommodation and travel will be funded.

The programme is split into multiple stages, which are outlined below. 

Residential

• The programme begins formally with an in-person residential from 11–13 April 2024 in London.   

Online course

• The programme continues in the summer term with a 12-week online course taking place from May to September 2024.  

Resource development

• Participants will attend a one-day workshop on Saturday 28 September 2024 to explore and agree course outcomes. Following this, participants will be expected to work on their outcome resource with support from the course leaders.
   
• Outcome resource development and reflection. We would expect draft resources to be submitted in December 2024. Once feedback has been received, participants will trial their resource in class before submitting their final resource in spring 2025.  

Resource editorial and publication

• If participants wish for their resource to be published on the HA website, and provided it is assessed up to standard, they are expected to engage fully with the revision and editorial process until summer 2025. We will publish outcome resources on this page from summer 2025.
