SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Using Trade Union Banners for Education: The Case of the 1938 ‘Red’ Follonsby Miners’ Banner - a talk by Lucy Grimshaw (Northumbria University) and Lewis Mates (Durham University)
DESCRIPTION:From David Connolly\, Secretary\, North East Labour History Society: \nTo: NELHS Members and Supporters \nOur apologies for the short notice but this is to let you know that we are postponing our Zoom meeting on Using Trade Union Banners for Education: The Case of the 1938 ‘Red’ Follonsby Miners’ Banner which was due to take place on Tuesday evening. \nBoth Lucy and Lewis are supporting the industrial action that their trade union UCU is taking tomorrow in defence of pensions\, pay and conditions in the university sector.  \nThere are ten days of strike action over the next three weeks and for more information about the dispute please see: https://www.ucu.org.uk/he2021 and https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/11818/Four-fights-dispute-FAQs  \nI’m sure all expressions of support for the action would be appreciated. \nIn solidarity with the UCU. \nDavid \n\n\nThis talk considers the use of trade union banners as tools for mainstream education in the context of the recent reclamation\, recuperation\, and re-articulation of industrial heritage taking place in localities in the former Durham coalfield\, north-east England. It does so by focusing on the educational work undertaken by the Follonsby Miner’s Banner Association in partnership with a local primary school. \nIt is divided into four substantive sections. The first locates our approach theoretically\, primarily in the rich pedagogical literature\, while the second briefly contextualizes the Association and the school. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with teachers and activists\, it offers a chronology of a project that\, catalysed by the replica Follonsby miners’ banner\, developed spontaneously in several exciting directions. \nThese included the school developing its own miners’-style banner\, unveiled by the late Tony Benn\, who featured on it. The third section offers some wider observations about the educational partnership and then considers the specific challenges that the Follonsby banner’s iconography posed in terms of teaching and how these were overcome. \nFinally\, we discuss legacies and lessons\, arguing that the wider impacts of the project went far beyond the specific learning experience they offered the children involved. Here is the link: \n\n
