The Fellowships seek to help historians introduce new approaches to their teaching, or to undertake a defined study of an aspect of history teaching in UK Higher Education.<\/p>\n<p>The Society defines approaches to teaching broadly for this Fellowship. For example, creation of a wholly new course or aspects of an existing course; provision of new activities within an established course; or assistance for students to undertake project work as part of a course. We also welcome applications that pilot or test new ideas in teaching, and which may not\u2014at this time\u2014become a feature of courses in future years.<\/p>\n<p>Fellowships may equally support a short study relating to History teaching in UK Higher Education, within a department or more widely, and of interest to the wider profession. Approaches may include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>study relating to the <strong>development of teaching<\/strong> on a particular historical theme, topic, region or chronology; the<strong> scope and\/or content of teaching<\/strong> in a subject area or UK region; or to <strong>student participation<\/strong>: for example, course selection;<\/li>\n<li><strong>surveys of the profession<\/strong> on subjects relating to History teaching in UK Higher Education;<\/li>\n<li><strong>promotion<\/strong> of the value of History teaching, and\/or identification of high-quality and transferable teaching practices;<\/li>\n<li>an <strong>event <\/strong>to consider and promote aspects of teaching practice;<\/li>\n<li>initiatives to support <strong>History HE teachers at mid or later-career.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships are named after Dame Jinty Nelson FBA, President of the Society between 2001 and 2005.
