Calling all educators interested in teaching and learning about the history of European famines
Researchers of the Heritages of Hunger project have developed an open access learning resource consisting of six modules, which comparatively investigate case studies on the realities of hunger and the history of European famines ranging from mid-nineteenth-century famines in western and northern Europe to the twentieth-century Ukrainian Holodomor, the Dutch Hunger Winter, and the Spanish Years of Hunger. The memories of these periods continue to impact debates on new crises and conflicts, such as economic decline, refugees, Brexit, COVID-19, and war. As such, teaching the history of these crises can be tremendously valuable for helping students understand today’s world.
