History of Education Society UK Podcast

To accompany the 50th Anniversary special edition of the History of Education Journal, we spoke to some of the contributors. These podcasts focus on two of the themes in the journal:
Geographical historiographies of education and
Thematic intersections with the history of education.
Episode 3 - Intersections: Histories of Medicine and Health
In this episode, Laura Newman, Postdoctoral research associate at Kings College, University of London, engages the listener with a fascinating tour of themes in the history of medicine and health and how these intersect, diverge and enrich possibilities for the history of education. You can find out more in her article Bodies of Knowledge: Historians, Health, and Education.
Themes include gender and sexuality, the hidden curriculum, practitioner historians, cheese and the postal service!
