For me, the doing history in public project is a valuable way to help student work become accessible to the wider public and provoke discussion outside of the classroom.

Doing History in Public 
Dear Katy, if you have access to Pinterest you might like to look at my board on the subject https://www.pinterest.co.uk/malcm2557/the-naked-englishman-cant-decide-what-fashion-to-w/
I believe I have found the earliest recorded example of the motif occuring in a sermon by Michel Menot (d1518) where it is the Frenchman thus represented, in a Venetian palace.!
