I have been working as a fellow with Parallel Histories for several years and will continue to do so for many more to come! I teach at Christ the King College where I have been involved in implementing Parallel Histories' debating programme on the Israel Palestine conflict into the Year 9 curriculum.

I am a teacher of History and English at St. Joseph’s Secondary school in Tulla, Co. Clare. I’m really delighted to take up this Parallel Histories fellowship focusing on an issue that I feel really passionate about, which is encouraging debate and discussion amongst our students.

My name is Andrew Dermody and I’m a history teacher at St Finian’s College, Mullingar County Westmeath, and I’m a trustee of Parallel Histories Ireland.

As the French Editor for Parallel Histories responsible for the expansion of the programme in French speaking countries, I have been delighted by the reaction of French students and teachers to this new approach.

I am a teacher of history and geography at GO! K. Atheneum Antwerp (BE) and I am translating the Parallel Histories approach on ‘Israël-Palestine’ into Dutch and introducing it as good practice in Flanders, and then I hope, the Netherlands.

I am a History and Geography teacher in Lille, France. My role as part of the Parallel Histories team is to develop teaching material about the Algerian War of Independence.

I have been fortunate to look, listen and learn in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, in Bosnia and in different communities across England, about the impact of inherited history and witness the power of education to break down the rhetoric of grievance and justification for conflict.

I am Teresa Cullinan, and my colleague Michael Bennett and I are History teachers at St Genevieve’s High School, Belfast. We are delighted to take part in Parallel Histories. Although we have studied the topic of partition before, we’re looking forward to studying it from a different perspective.

I teach at Sacred Heart Secondary School, Drogheda, where one of my core values as an educator is to create an environment that is student-centred and (more importantly) student-led. ‘Parallel Histories’ has allowed that.
