Smith, Joseph – History of Education, 2022
This paper brings together the ideas of three writers from the 1880s who argued for an enhanced status for history in the school curriculum.

The paper's theoretical assumption is that…

Egelmeers, Wouter; Teughels, Nelleke – History of Education, 2021
In the early 1880s, Belgian educators were confronted for the first time with calls for the use of the optical lantern in schools. Around the same time, new pedagogical theories gained ground, which argued in favour of visually aided, more experiential forms of teaching. By investigating the pedagogical discourse on the introduction and use of…

The 1923 Constitution prepared the legal framework for Egypt's semi-independence from British imperial control under a newly established liberal monarchy.

Historians have observed that the period 1860-1890 was educationally progressive. This paper identifies the renaissance with the creation of the General Synod of the Church of Ireland in the aftermath of Church Disestablishment. Disestablishment legislation facilitated the inclusion of the laity in Synod. The paper argues that the lay-clerical…

It uses, as an example, Carolyn Steedman's book "The Tidy House: Little Girls Writing" (1982). "The Tidy House" set out to interpret a short story written by three primary school girls in Britain in 1976. Steedman…
