#011 - Welcome back to Whitgift Conversations, the podcast where we talk to staff, parents and pupils about topics that are relevant to you. In this episode we’re talking to History and Politics teacher as well as the Assistant Head of Higher Education, Chris van Dort. Chris will talk about his background as a teacher and what it’s like having taught in deprived areas, he’ll also delve into what it is about history and politics that makes them such compelling subjects to study and teach. We’ll also get to hear his thoughts on the media’s representation of history and politics and what it’s been like as a younger staff member teaching subjects often associated with teachers who’re of an older generation. So come with me now as we speak to History and Politics teacher, Chris van Dort.
