1. Sorry about the weather.
2. Try the haggis pakora.
3. Look up. Most of the decent architecture starts at the first floor.
4. Please, no jokes about the accent.
5. Seriously, the haggis pakora is good.

What I admire about @galvinalmanza.bsky.social's clear-eyed assessment of our criminal justice system is her open critique of the *image in our heads about crime*. It produces bad policy on the one hand and authoritarian goon squads on the other.

Image combining the cover of the new book, 'Teaching Slavery New approaches to Britain’s colonial past', co-authored by Katie Donington, Abdul Mohamud, Robin Whitburn, and Nicholas Draper.Plus logo of the 'Teaching Slavery in Scotland' web resource. Full abstract: "In this post we hear from historians involved in the creation of two new resources, launched in late 2025, to support the teaching of slavery in schools. In the opening section, Katie Donington, Abdul Mohamud and Robin Whitburn introduce their new co-authored book, ‘Teaching Slavery. New Approaches to Britain’s Colonial Past’, which brings together the latest academic research on Britain’s involvement in transatlantic slavery, with innovative thinking on the teaching of such challenging histories in the classroom. In part two, Jesús Sanjurjo-Ramos and Joseph Smith highlight ‘Teaching Slavery in Scotland’, a new online resource, in which teachers, academics, writers and creative professionals explore new ways to learn about the trade in enslaved African people. Central to both projects is close, long-term collaborative working between academic historians and history teachers in schools."

Introducing the new web resource, 'Teaching Slavery in Scotland', and the co-authored OA book, 'Teaching Slavery. New Approaches to Britain’s Colonial Past'.
