Teaching Ancient War and Peace Setting new agenda for primary, secondary and tertiary education.
The Visualising War and Peace project is organising a series of online consultations plus an in-person workshop in 2025 to explore current practice and future opportunities in the teaching of ancient war and peace, across primary, secondary and tertiary education sectors.
Join the WORKSHOP on 30 April to 2 May:
Via a series of short papers (15 minutes, each followed by plenary discussion), we will explore the following themes across primary, secondary and tertiary education sectors, both within the UK and internationally:
– Future challenges for teaching ancient warfare and peace differently (training requirements, resource needs etc, assessment issues, etc…).
– Current practice/trends in teaching ancient war/warfare (and their effects).
– Current practice/trends in teaching ancient peace/conflict resolution (and their effects).
– Examples of good practice in teaching war/peace (within or beyond Classics, ancient or post-antiquity) and their effects.
– Teaching practices beyond the classroom (e.g. in the museum setting, tourism etc).
– The influence of popular culture (e.g. gaming, fiction) on students' learning and/or teaching practice.
– Creative pedagogies for teaching ancient war/peace .
– Diversifying voices/sources/themes for teaching ancient war/peace.
– Relating ancient war/peace teaching to modern contexts (challenges and opportunities).
– Future goals for teaching ancient warfare and peace differently (desirable learning outcomes, assignment/assessment opportunities, skill-building, interdisciplinarity…).
The programme of speakers will be advertised in February.
