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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 (browna@edgehill.ac.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The attendance fee is \u00a325 whether you are giving a session in a workshop or attending and participating in discussion.
