This project was borne out of a shared realisation that women are often under-represented in many of the medieval history classes taught at, especially, KS3 and further up the curriculum as well. We hope to remedy this by bringing together teachers and academics to share our respective knowledge and expertise and to co-create a variety of materials that are attractive, engaging - and free - to use in the classroom.

The CPD day will include:<ul><li>Talks by leading academics on different examples of medieval women</li><li>Discussion panels on how to incorporate materials into teaching</li><li>Resource design workshops</li><li>A complimentary lunch and teas and coffees throughout the day</li></ul>

We would also be very interested to hear from teachers who would be interested in contributing on the day, by giving a talk or taking part in a panel, sharing perhaps their experiences of or their thoughts on teaching medieval women.

We previously ran a CPD event at Nottingham Trent University in June 2024 and this event proved to be an engaging one. When asked to score on a scale of 0-5 how useful they found the day, attendees responded overwhelmingly positively with half of respondents rating the day as 5 or ‘very useful’. We would love to see teachers who attended last year’s event at this year’s event if possible to see how they may have incorporated examples of medieval women into their teaching.

The event is free to attend, however spaces are limited and so we advise to register your place as soon as possible. We also ask if you could let us know if you cannot attend so we can ensure others can attend.

The deadline for registration is 9 June 2025.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me at <a href="mailto:Catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk" title="mailto:Catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk</a>.
