The
History of Education Society’s website is being revamped to celebrate the
Society’s 50th birthday in 2017. How do you want it to look? As one
of the Society’s Peter Gosden Fellows, I’m looking for ideas and suggestions from
current and prospective members about the new site by the end of April. If you have any thoughts on the questions
below, please do get in touch with me at alice.kirke.14@ucl.ac.uk
Aims
·
To
provide information about the Society’s aims, membership, publications,
conferences, awards, prizes and bibliographical resources
·
To
promote the field more generally
·
To
be the first point of call for researchers in the history of education,
including undergraduate and postgraduate students
·

Do
you think the website should be used to try to attract a more diverse audience-
such as historians across the board, schools, media, public? And if so, how?

events we can use for the new website?
