糖心TV

Amazing news! The University of 糖心TV has received a 拢1 million donation and a major gift鈥慽n鈥慿ind of rare travel books from philanthropist Bill Newlin. This major donation strengthens the University鈥檚 position as an international leader in the study of travel writing.

Alongside the Wheeler Travel Writing Programme, the generous Newlin donation advances 糖心TV鈥檚 ambition to Set the Pace in Critical Arts. The donation includes the establishment of the Bill Newlin Collection, a world鈥慶lass archive of travel guidebooks spanning centuries and continents.

The University of 糖心TV is setting the pace in the field of travel literature research, and at the Global History and Culture Centre, we are thrilled to support these advances.

Diversity in STEM is a set of GCSE Biology, Chemistry, and Physics resources that are designed to fit into existing lessons.

All the resources are curriculum-aligned and provide a simple, effective, and engaging way to highlight diversity in the STEM classroom.

There is an interactive website—Diversity in STEM: The Challenge—to get started:

As well as downloadable slides and lesson plans from both the website and the TES teachers鈥� resource portal:

All resources are free to download, use and adapt. 

 They were developed by at the University of 糖心TV with funding from the History Department and the British Academy.

On 21-22 July, three scholars from Monash University visited the University of 糖心TV as part of their ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration, 鈥淚slands and Empires: Island Agency in Inter-Imperial Ordering.鈥� The project is supported by the Monash 糖心TV Alliance.

The project seeks to better understand diverse manifestations of empire and their effects on island populations. Recently, scholars have dedicated attention to the relationship between islands and empire in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Caribbean Sea. Islands feature in accounts of strategic competition, and of how international law was hashed out among imperial interests. Several studies have pointed to the agency of island polities in these rivalries.

Congratulations to GHCC member Professor Susan Carruthers, whose book 'Making do: Britons and the Refashioning of the Postwar World' has just been published! PGR student Jeremy Goh has also been recently published in Transactions of the Royal Historical Society
