BLOG 4 - Seminar by Mr Mark Eagers

On Monday 10th March 2014, Mr Mark Eagers came in to do a seminar on the comparisons between Hitler and Mao for IB1 and IB2. In a fascinating and inspirational session, he looked at the ideological and pragmatics differences and similarities, drawing on his wealth of IB experience. Previously Head of History at our Headmaster’s future school, United World College in Singapore, Mr Eagers was able to offer a fresh and exciting take on the two dictators while drawing on his vast knowledge of the IB examination system. The students were engaged throughout and for a whole afternoon got to learn about history through a slightly different lens. It was a brilliant, educational and innovative afternoon for the IB historians at Bromsgrove School.
