We are inviting participants to attend and contribute to a workshop day at the Quaker Meeting House, Liverpool, on 2 June 2026, organised by Edge Hill University, in collaboration with Lincoln Bishop University. Deadline for contributions 8 May 2026.
Call for participants
The intention is to orient most of the day around workshop sessions that contain introductory (c.8-10 minutes) presentations which enable us to collectively discuss and progress particular research questions relating to the early history of teacher training colleges across Britain.
Further aims of the day are to establish a national network to research the history of teacher training, unlock underused archival collections related to this field and to develop interdisciplinary and collaborative research opportunities for the future.
Please provide a 250-word (max) overview of your interest and background in this area to enable the organisers to construct a thematic and coherent programme. Please email to Professor Alyson Brown ([email protected])
If you have any suggestions or ideas for the best way to present/share your knowledge and research, please do indicate this. We are open to whatever works to advance collaboration and research and make the day as productive as possible.
