Davies, Nathanael; Rakib, Taslima; Zakaria, Anam – Teaching History, 2022
Nathanael Davies recognised that previous efforts to diversify the history taught at his school by weaving new stories into the curriculum had made little impression on his students' assumptions about what really counted as history.

Benger, Alex – Teaching History, 2022
Concerned by the growing tendency of politicians and press to revive the moral balance-sheet approach to British imperial history and by some evidence of its resurgence in schools, Alex Benger set about devising a framework which would keep pupils' analysis rigorously historical, rather than moral and politicised.
