North London Collegiate School hosted an informative and thought-provoking CPD (Continuing Professional Development) day with the Teaching Medieval Women team, entitled ‘Teaching Women in Medieval History’.
This event drew in teachers from across the UK to learn about a range of notable women, including Joan of Arc, Shajar al-Durr and Empresses Yingtian and Chengtian of Khitan Liao, from a team of academic specialists: Professor Jonathan Phillips (Royal Holloway University), Dr Ellie Woodacre (University of Winchester), and Dr Natasha Hodgson (Nottingham Trent University). Each talk was followed by a discussion between the speakers and audience on how best to introduce these figures into their teaching with many excellent ideas being shared.
