Shalina Patel

History is always present for Shalina. It’s the subject she has won multiple awards for teaching and made TV documentaries on. In The History Lessons she takes us on a highly engaging tour from the Romans to the Second World War via Tudor courts and medieval castles, celebrating stories and people beyond the standard narratives as she invites us to reclaim our education. Meet the woman that Sathnam Sanghera and Kavita Puri both call the history teacher they wish they’d had, and the one Britain needs now.
