Teacher fellows

My relationship with Parallel Histories began in the 6th form of Lancaster Royal Grammar School where I was fortunate to participate in a number of wide ranging debates and a study trip to Ireland where explored both sides of several debates in Irish history with students and politician Bertie Ahern. Having seen the value of this wonderful organisation I was happy to join the Board of Trustees and have maintained for the charity over the last 2 years whilst studying History at New College, Oxford. It has been a real privilege to witness the growth and development of this incredible organisation and the way in which it stimulates quality thought and debate especially at a time when the commonly held view is that true debate is being stifled in an ever more polarised world.
