Teacher fellows
Teresa Cullinan and Michael Bennett
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. The topic itself is very controversial and it is very important that we challenge ourselves and challenge any preconceived ideas. The pupils are looking forward to looking at this deeply and critically, evaluating source material and coming up with their own ideas and being able to articulate those ideas. The pupils themselves are very enthusiastic. They’re looking forward to debating with students from the North and the South of Ireland, from the UK and Europe. We would also love to meet some of you in person in the near future and so far we have been just really enjoying Parallel Histories programme.
