An RHS Online Training Workshop for Early Career Historians

 

14.00-16.00 BST, Wednesday 21 July 2021

Watch the video of this event

 

‘Getting Published: a guide to first articles and journal publishing’ is an online training event hosted by the RHS designed for early career historians. The focus of this first ‘Getting Published’ session is journals, with specific attention on getting a first academic article written and published in your chosen journal.

The event brings together journal editors and publishers, recent first-time authors, and early career historians. It seeks to demystify the process of journal publishing and provide practical advice and tips on how best to succeed.

The workshop combines brief presentations on academic journals, stages of the publishing process, the experience of getting published, as well as active audience participation in which your questions and concerns are raised and discussed.

Topics for this session include: the journal landscape; differences between an article and a thesis chapter; choosing and approaching the right journal for you; what to expect with peer review and from your publisher if your article is accepted; how to respond to inevitable rejections; journal articles and the Research Excellence Framework (REF); and next steps in publishing on completing your first article.

The session will also consider, and explain, Open Access (OA) publishing: what it means for journal publishing – for authors, editors and journal publishers; what options to choose; and the future for Open Access journal publishing in the wake of UKRI’s imminent declaration on its position of the OA charter ‘Plan S’.

Speakers at the event:
  • Professor Emma Griffin (RHS President, UEA and co-editor of Historical Journal), chair
  • Professor Sandra den Otter (Queen’s University, Ontario and co-editor of the Journal of British Studies)
  • Dr Rebekah Lee (Goldsmiths, University of London and co-editor of the Journal of Southern African Studies)
  • Professor Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London, RHS Vice-President, Publishing, and specialist in Open Access and digital publishing)

The panel will be joined by three recent authors who’ll offer their experience of navigating journal publishing for the first time, as PhD students and recent post-doctoral researchers:

  • Dr Diya Gupta (RHS and Institute of Historical Research / Journal of War & Culture Studies)
  • Dr Jonah Miller (Cambridge / History Workshop Journal)
  • Sasha Rasmussen (Oxford / Cultural and Social History)

After contributions from the panel, the event will take the form of a discussion involving all attendees. Those attending will be invited to submit questions in advance of the event.

This event is free to all though booking is essential.

Future RHS training workshops

‘Getting Published’ is the first in a new annual series of RHS ‘Getting Started’ training events for early career historians. Events will provide guidance and insight into key areas of professional development.

Topics for future discussion will include: publishing and communicating research, teaching history, writing history, applying historical knowledge and research skills, and career options for research historians within and outside higher education. ‘Getting Started’ will run four times a year with the next session planned for autumn 2021.

 

 

For more guides see also the RHS’s new Teaching Portal: a set of over 50 specially commissioned essays–on research, online resources, teaching and career paths–for current research students and early career teachers.

 

 

Greg Jenner and Emma Griffin discuss public history, comedy and popular broadcasting

On Tuesday 20 February, the Society was delighted to host broadcaster and historian, Greg Jenner, who was in conversation with RHS President Emma Griffin on ‘Finding the Funny in Public History’.

Greg discussed his career, from ‘Horrible Histories’ to You’re Dead to Me and his new book series for children, ‘Totally Chaotic History’, and how different formats — television, podcasts, radio and publishing — shape the ways we communicate about the past. Greg also spoke about his use of comedy to bring history to new audiences, and especially those for whom history was not a popular subject at school. ‘Finding the Funny’ in history offers ways to engage audiences, as well as risks: when is comedy about historical figures and events appropriate and when is it not?

The evening concluded with a Q&A session with our large in-person and online audience, on topics such as writing history for children, new formats for television history, and the positives and negatives of historical debate on social media.

Our warm thanks to Greg for this special RHS event and to all those who attended the evening in person or online. Video and audio recordings of the evening will be available soon.

Details of future Royal Historical Society events, taking place in person across the UK and online, are available here. We look forward to welcoming you to one of these lectures, talks and workshops. You’ll also find recordings of many recent Society activities in our Events Archive.

 

Education Policy

 

The Royal Historical Society takes a keen interest in promoting and developing the teaching of history in higher education. The Society’s engagement in this area is overseen by its Education Committee. The committee is drawn from members of the RHS Council and chaired by Dr Adam Budd, the Society’s Secretary for Education, who sits as an Officer on the Council.

The Education Committee works closely with education specialists in other organisations, such as the Historical Association (which represents the interests of primary and secondary school History teachers) and HistoryUK (which represents UK History departments).

Current activities in which the Committee is engaged include:

1. Masters’ Scholarships for students from groups currently underrepresented in academic History

The Society’s Masters’ Scholarships provide £5000 per recipient to support early career historians undertake a Masters’ degree in History at a UK university.

The programme, established in 2022, seeks to actively address underrepresentation and encourage Black and Asian students to consider academic research in History. By supporting Masters’ students the programme focuses on a key early stage in the academic training of future researchers.

With these Scholarships, we seek to support students who are without the financial means to study for a Masters’ in History. By doing so, we hope to improve the educational experience of early career historians engaged in a further degree.

In its latest round, the Society awarded six Scholarships for the academic year 2023-24. Our thanks to the Past & Present Society and the Thriplow Charitable Trust for their support in 2023.

The RHS Masters’ Scholarships will next run in 2024 for the academic year 2024-25. The Society seeks to offer as many Scholarships as we can to talented eligible early career historians. If you or your organisation would like to help us support additional Masters’ Scholarships for the academic year 2024-25, please email president@royalhistsoc.org to discuss options with the Society’s President, Professor Emma Griffin.

2. Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships

From July 2023, the Society makes available annual Fellowships of between £500 and £1250 to support the development and study of teaching practices for History in UK Higher Education. The Fellowships aim to help historians introduce new approaches to their teaching, or to undertake a defined study of an aspect of history teaching in UK Higher Education.

In its latest round, the Society awarded fellowships to seven projects for the academic year 2023-24. The Society will provide updates on each of these projects as they come to fruition. The call for the Fellowships, 2024-25 will be made in 2024.

3. Online resources and guides for history teachers in Higher Education

The RHS Teaching Portal is a free online resource for teachers and students of History in UK Higher Education. The Portal includes more than 60 articles (text and video) produced by experienced researchers, teachers and resource providers. Articles are themed ‘For Teachers’ and ‘For Students’; and by ‘Innovative Modules’, ‘Transitions through HE’, ‘Careers’ and ‘Online Resources’.

The Portal is an important, and evolving, resource for teachers of History, and a forum for debate and discussion about the pedagogy of our discipline. Additionally, the Portal provides support in the face of unexpected challenges, such as adapting to digital learning during the lockdowns of 2020-21.

4. Workshops for Early Career Historians of Colour

The Society runs an annual Workshop offering one-to-one guidance and group discussion for early career historians of colour. Sessions cover CV writing, applications, and proposals for funded research, among other topics, for up to 30 historians at a time.

The 2023 Workshop takes place on Friday 22 September and is preceded (August / September) by one-to-one mentoring sessions. Further details of the 2023 Workshop for Early Career Historians of Colour are available here, along with details of how to apply for a place.

5. ‘New to Teaching’ Conference, with HistoryUK

The Society hosts an annual series of workshops which provide expert advice for those ‘New to Teaching’ at the start of the academic year. The event enables attendees to develop their understanding of key issues relating to teaching History in higher education: from innovations in teaching and learning to curriculum design, teaching in groups, and giving assessment.

The latest ‘New to Teaching’ Conference took place in September 2022. Videos of the eight presentations are available here.

Also with History UK, the Society supports development of the Pandemic Pedagogy Handbook, which charts shifting classroom practice.

6. Commentaries and Insights on History Teaching in UK Higher Education

The society’s Education Policy Committee also commissions occasional series of external commentaries relating to important topics in History teaching in Higher Education. From Winter 2023-24, the Committee begins a series of posts on the form, impact and potential implications of Generative AI for historians and History teaching.

Windrush (1948-2023): Society creates listing of events marking 75th anniversary

22 June 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in Essex. The ship brought to Britain just over 800 passengers who had left the West Indies, the great majority of whom sought to settle and begin new lives in the UK.

The Windrush anniversary is being widely marked in 2023 with events, exhibitions, broadcasts and the Windrush 75 digital network which is recording national events.

Many of these events will consider the histories of the Caribbean, the voyage, the Windrush generations, post-war migration and British multi-culturalism in the later 20th and 21st century.

To capture some of these activities (large and small, national and community-focused), the Royal Historical Society is creating an online listing of anniversary events with a historical dimension.

We now invite you to send us details of events and activities you’re planning, taking part in, or know about. We’ll list and share them regularly to provide an online space for people interested in celebrating the 75th anniversary through history.

You can submit details of events via the form, here.

We welcome details of a range of events and activities (in-person and online), with a history focus. These might include:

  • academic events, such as lectures, conferences or seminars
  • exhibitions on the history of Windrush
  • broadcasts, including podcast episodes or series
  • blogs on the history of Windrush
  • public and community history projects
  • social media channels and hashtags
  • history festivals relating to Windrush and its legacies
  • short courses, workshops and training in the history of Windrush

In addition, we welcome your recommendations for further reading (books, academic articles and historical fiction) about the history of the Windrush voyage, Windrush generations, and ethnic diversity in post-war and later 20th-century Britain.

This section of the listing will help those new to this subject learn more in this anniversary year.

We look forward to receiving your proposals, for events and reading, and we’ll then collate and communicate an ongoing listing through 2023.

Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships

 

Launching in July 2023, the Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships are a new RHS funding programme to support History teaching in UK Higher Education.

The Society looks to award a series of Teaching Fellowships, available for the sums of £500, £1000 and £1250, to be held over an academic year. The Fellowships aim to help historians introduce new approaches to their teaching, or to undertake a defined study of an aspect of history teaching in UK Higher Education.

The Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships are named after Dame Jinty Nelson FBA, President of the Society between 2001 and 2005. Fellowships replace the Society’s previous Jinty Nelson Teaching Prize in a new and expanded funding programme for History teaching at undergraduate and Masters’ levels.

Fellowships will be awarded on the quality and value of the proposal. In addition, the Society is keen to support historians who lack access to alternative resources (institutional or other) to enhance their teaching, or where funding opportunities are very limited.

Please note: applications for the award are reserved for current Fellows and members of the Society. If you wish to apply for membership, please visit our Join Us page.

For recipients of Fellowships for the academic year 2023-24 please see here.

Details of the application round for the Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships, 2024-25, will be made in due course. When open, applications should be submitted via the Society’s online application portal.

About the Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships

Fellowships support historians in Higher Education who wish to introduce new approaches and initiatives to their teaching—and for which funding, at one of three levels (£500, £1000 and £1250 per award), is required to make this possible. Fellowships may also support those seeking to undertake a short study of an aspect of History teaching in UK Higher Education: for example, within a department or more widely. Recipients of this first round of Teaching Fellowships are expected to undertake their project within the academic year of the award, with the Fellowship lasting for the duration of the project or period of study.

The Society defines approaches to teaching broadly for this Fellowship. For example, creation of a wholly new course or aspects of an existing course; provision of new activities within an established course; or assistance for students to undertake project work as part of a course. We also welcome applications that pilot or test new ideas in teaching, and which may not—at this time—become a feature of courses in future years.

By awarding Teaching Fellowships, the Society seeks to support instances of creative teaching practice that may be communicated and adopted by others across History in Higher Education. Upon completion of the Fellowship, recipients will be asked to submit a short report (e.g., for the Society’s blog and online Teaching Portal) offering guidance on their  new approach to teaching.

Teaching Fellowships may be used to support a range of initiatives to develop a recipient’s teaching. These may include (but are not limited to):

  • travel for UK students and teachers as part of a course;
  • attendance at historical sites with students;
  • funding to bring external specialists together for the purpose of discussion or training in an aspect of study / communication;
  • honoraria for guest speakers, including those working outside UK Higher Education;
  • online or print publications / communications to support innovations in historical teaching;
  • defined training for historians to support innovation in teaching;
  • funding for students to undertake a defined project as part of the course.

Please note: purchase of classroom equipment, technology or other permanent assets is not supported by this award.

Fellowships may equally support a short study relating to History teaching in UK Higher Education, within a department or more widely, and of interest to the wider profession. Approaches may include (but are not limited to):

  • study relating to the development of teaching on a particular historical theme, topic, region or chronology; the scope and/or content of teaching in a subject area or UK region; or to student participation: for example, course selection;
  • surveys of the profession on subjects relating to History teaching in UK Higher Education;
  • promotion of the value of History teaching, and/or identification of high-quality and transferable teaching practices;
  • an event to consider and promote aspects of teaching practice;
  • initiatives to support History HE teachers at mid or later-career.

Eligibility for a Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowship

The Society welcomes applications from teachers of History in UK Higher Education. Applicants must be current members or Fellows of the Royal Historical Society.

Fellowships are available to those:

  • at any career stage;
  • working in or outside history departments, where the major component of a course is historical (including, for example, the history of ideas or history of science);
  • responsible for at least one course at a higher education institution that they would create, redesign or develop, and for which Fellowship funding is required;
  • teaching on undergraduate or Masters’ programmes;
  • able to undertake the course format, with RHS financial support, no later than 31 July 2024;
  • willing to to provide a short report on the success (or otherwise) of the project, in a format that can be appropriated and re-used in the teaching of other historians.
  • Collaborative and cross disciplinary applications are welcome.

When awarding Fellowships, primary consideration will be given to the proposed quality and value of the new approach to teaching, in tandem with the intended use of the award to support these innovations. In addition, the Society is keen to support historians who lack access to alternative resources (institutional or other) to enhance their teaching, or where funding opportunities are very limited.

For questions about the Fellowships, please email: administration@royalhistsoc.org.

Latest volume of ‘Transactions of the Royal Historical Society’ (2022) now available

We are very pleased to announce publication of the new-look 2022 volume of the Transactions of the Royal Historical Society (volume 32, sixth series). The latest volume contains 11 articles and an Introduction from the Society’s President, Emma Griffin.

The 2022 volume includes a number of changes for the journal being the first:

  • to be edited by an external editorial team, led by the journal’s co-editors, Dr Harshan Kumarasingham (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Kate Smith (University of Birmingham)
  • to ‘open up’ the journal to include articles submitted by historians for consideration; this replaces the journal’s former policy, established in 1872, of limiting articles to those first delivered as lectures or papers to the Society
  • to be published in paperback print (as well as online), and to include a new design and cover illustration. This year’s cover — ‘Elephant and man’, by an unknown Burmese artist (1897 © The Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford) — illustrates Jonathan Saha’s article in the volume: ‘Accumulations and Cascades: Burmese Elephants and the Ecological Impact of British Imperialism’.

Publication of the 2022 volume also marks the 150th anniversary of the first volume of Transactions, which was published in November 1872. You can read more of the journal’s early years and development in Emma Griffin’s introductory essay, ‘An Anniversary and New Departure: Transactions, 1872–2022′.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the Transactions, and the changes introduced in 2022, please join us for a panel discussion, ‘Futures for the History Journal: Reflections and Projections’, at 5pm GMT on Tuesday 6 December. An international panel of historians, editors, digital innovators and publishers will discuss possible futures for the History journal, along with insights from an online audience. Booking for this event is now open.

Contributing to Transactions of the Royal Historical Society

Submissions to Transactions are welcome from historians at any time. As a ‘generalist’ journal, Transactions welcomes content covering all aspects of the global past, and is especially keen to receive articles reflecting interdisciplinary collaboration and new forms of historical practice. The editors also welcome a range of article formats, including shorter form articles, roundtables and statements on research methods and pedagogy in the profession, within and beyond the higher education sector.

Further information on the journal, and how to submit article for review, is available here.

New articles are published online soon after acceptance via the FirstView platform of Cambridge University Press. Articles then appear each November in the annual print volume of Transactions. The next volume (vol. 1, seventh series) will be published in November 2023.

Fellows and Members of the Royal Historical Society receive Transactions as a member benefit. All those requesting the print edition of TRHS (2022) will receive this by post from Cambridge University Press in late November / early December 2022.
