HERJ has a #CallForPapers on Shifting Practices in #HistoryEducation in Africa: Critical Perspectives and New Directions.

For more information, including how to contribute, read the full call here:
journals.uclpress.co.uk/herj/news/25/

Articles will publish #OpenAccess and without APC
The call for papers on Shifting Practices in History Education in Africa: Critical Perspectives and New Directions Edited by Abigail Branford, Denise Bentrovato, Johan Wasserman and Joanna Wojdon For publication from early 2026 Expressions of interest due: 1 May 2025 Due date for paper submission: 2 September 2025 Calls for improving the teaching of African history across the continent have been made by academics, activists, UNESCO, the popular press, and teachers and students themselves. These calls have identified issues such as the dominance of European history and the history of ‘great men’; the exclusion of marginalised groups; the lack of critical narratives; and the prevalence of rote-learning and teaching-to-test pedagogies. This special theme presents an opportunity to take stock of history education practices across African contexts, to identify shifts and resistance in addressing such issues. It also seeks to explore the role of different actors such as policy-makers, textbook authors, teachers and students in creating affordances and constraints in the history education space. The special theme also aspires to emphasise the voices of history teachers and students at all levels of education. Whilst curricula and policy play an important role in structuring history education, too often it is assumed rather than investigated how these are experienced by teachers and students. This special series seeks to ask how histories are navigated, internalised, ignored or resisted by teachers and students. This also includes teachers-in-training, as initial teacher education is a vital but under-emphasised arena which shapes later classroom interactions. Voices from these spaces can shed light on changing pedagogical interactions beyond the assumptions of official documents. Submit expressions of interest by May 1 2025.

Exciting to be heading to Stirling 4 @heirnet.bsky.social. The 21st HEIRNET conference (the 1st was in Ambleside in 2004 & we’ve ranged from New York, to Curitiba, to Corfu since). The largest gathering of international history ed researchers (over 100 of us). Proud to be involved in running this.

So I’ve been working on a series of blogs on what I’m calling ‘narrative ethics’ & history education. It started out as a 3-parter but it’s looking more like a 5-part blog series. Blogs 1-3 are available here at The Camel’s Back - thecamelsback.org/blog/. Hoping to get number 4 finished this week.
