This episode discusses the new OCL History enquiry focussing on Mao's Revolution in China. Rob Hayes sits down with Josh Powell, the enquiry planner, to explore the thinking behind the enquiry and the reasons for exploring it through the lens of significance, especially resonance. They also discuss some broader themes and points for development, including the prominence of women in the curriculum and the tension between Core, Hinterland & unnecessary knowledge.
