¶ Teaching

It would be incredibly boring to cite lots of lovely feedback from students and external examiners; I can provide that if needed. I try to make sessions fun, to let students take the biggest role possible in the design and delivery of their learning. I model, even in non-cooperative settings, the co-operative pedagogies for which I have argued, and as part of that attempt to reflect the broadest range of experiences of the world possible, the widest range of primary sources, and to encourage questioning and thinking. When I am asked a question to which I do not know the answer, I will always admit it, and discuss how we will find out the answer together. 

Most of my teaching has been on the history of Europe - especially Britain - and its empires, after c.1700, taking I offer here a list of teaching experience and some related support work. Under my publications, I list my writings on pedagogy and within critical university studies and the adult education literature.

Welcome

As I move around, working in different institutions and independently, I have decided the easiest thing to do is to pull together information about my work in one place. I am a freelance historian, sometimes working for Leicester Vaughan College, a higher education co-operative I helped establish, but primarily working for private clients. My historical interests are wide, and I can help with any British history after c.1700, with experience and skills in corporate, civic, central governent and personal records of all kinds, the full range of printed matter, oral histories, and material culture. I get great pleasure from weaving narratives and sharing material.  Do please feel free to contact me malcolmjnoble [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk, or if you prefer call +44(0)7791380273.

Call for papers for a symposium at Senate House, University of London, 4 February 2023* Participants are invited to an optional practice-based workshop on 5 February 2023, venue TBC Sexuality and textuality are tightly bound. From our earliest experiences of media –including print – LGBTQI+ individuals are employing queer interpretative methods and navigating the ways queer identities might be ‘read’ by others. And yet, while literature’s constitutive effect on queer subjectivities is relatively well-worked ground, how exactly print objects inform, acknowledge, embody and produce queer identities and communities is understudied in bibliographic terms. Queer/ing book history is a project that has been advanced both inside and outside the academy (The Queer Book course at London Rare Books School, devised...
