Fantastic students and teachers from the Bolton History Hub joined Parallel Histories on Friday to investigate and debate the impact of the British Empire. If you’re in a history hub and would like us to run a similar event, let us know: info@parallelhistories.org.uk

Paula Vennells is straight from 1984 ‘His mind slid into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully-constructed lies, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it’s.

Good to see the excellent students at BSGD getting to grips with Balfour.
Today Mr Owen had the pleasure of talking to the Dymond Society. Material from @ParaHistories was used to debate whether the British should be praised or blamed for the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Here they are, analysing the evidence #BSGDY10 #BSGDY11

Our latest blog looks at how the Ottoman Empire tried to resolve competing claims to religious sites in Jerusalem helps illustrates why an Israel-Hamas ceasefire will almost certainly not defuse a prime cause of conflict.

I'm delighted to say that Jonathan Powell has become a Patron. During the Northern Ireland Peace Process he saw the need to acknowledge the historical narratives of both communities before progress could be made - otherwise the future would remain chained to the past.

It’s annoying when politicians and journalists only get half the story. On Tuesday we ran a debate about the Israel Palestine conflict involving 9 schoools in England and Belgium. So, yes it’s not easy but stuff is happening!! .

The National is the UAE’s English language mouthpiece and this is the second article on the paucity of teaching of Israel Palestine in UK schools. They have a point!.
