SUMMARY:Non-academic Careers 1
DESCRIPTION:This event will see Society members discuss their non-academ
 ic careers and research\n\nThis event\, potentially the first in a serie
 s\, will see Society members discuss their careers outside academia and 
 how it enables them to research or work on the First World War.\n\nDr Ro
 salie Triolo has trained specialist History teachers at Australia’s Mo
 nash University for 25+ years in a ‘History teaching’ career of 45. 
 She asserts that while FWW school teaching occurs beyond the academy\, H
 istory teachers derive longer-term\, richer careers\, as well as purpose
 ful\, rewarding experiences for their students\, when acting academicall
 y. Additionally\, FWW events and resources abound in local communities.\
 n\nDr Simon Gregor has worked for 10-15 years now as a private tutor onl
 ine\, in person and also from time-to-time "in the field" as a tour guid
 e. He took his first degree (in English Literature) at the University of
  Cambridge\, and then his PhD in history at the University of Wolverhamp
 ton\, focussing on the commemoration of the First World War on its battl
 efields. He has worked extensively as a historical and literary tour gui
 de in Europe\, focussing on the battlefields of both world wars\, as wel
 l as in locations pertinent to the Cold War. He emigrated to the United 
 States in 2023\, and now lives in Detroit\, where he teaches history\, l
 iterature and politics to UK\, US and other students\, supporting both s
 chool-age and adult learners. He will talk about how his experiences of 
 studying helped equip him with some of the skills needed for these roles
 \; and will also be honest about the ways they did not\, leaving some im
 portant "development gaps" to fill in!\n\nRichard Bowes served as an arm
 our officer in the Canadian Army for 23 years. From 2003-2018 Richard wo
