We will use the SOAS History Blog processes as a template for you to get thinking, creating and writing blogs for us and yourself. We’ll also be covering how blog writing can be used on your CV and how to highlight your blog skills for others to see.

After attending this event you will have:
  • A basic introduction to setting up a blog
  • A few ideas of how to start writing blogpieces
  • Access to a successful blog team during the Q&A session
  • Connections with people who you may like to collaborate with you to get published on the SOAS History Blog in the near future
What is the SOAS History Blog
The SOAS History blog was launched by the HRP Department of SOAS in May 2021. This digital platform includes articles, community profiles, events and podcasts (and so much more!) and you are invited you to contribute! The SOAS History Blog is being built as a space where any SOAS students, staff and alumni interested in the broad subject of ‘history’ are welcome to contribute articles, events, and profile-pieces. To find out more join our mailing list or student WhatsApp group (here), or send us an email directly to soashistoryblog@soas.ac.uk.
