Dr Jaime Ashworth received his Ph.D. from Southampton University in 2012 and a PGCE in Post-Compulsory Education from the UCL Institute of Education in 2015.

My interdisciplinary doctoral research explored the ways in which the Holocaust is represented in museums: specifically, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, the Imperial War Museum in London, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim, Poland. I look at the Holocaust as a Barthesian mythology: that is, progressively more a vehicle for the exploration of other issues than an object of study purely for its own sake.

I am also deeply concerned with Holocaust Education and commemoration. I work as a freelance educator for the Holocaust Educational Trust and also with youth groups, as well as in sixth form colleges. I am also available as a Private Tutor via Tutor Pages: for more information please either follow the link or look at my Independent Educator page.

The subjects in this blog are intended to reflect the broad range of subjects and issues these interests bring me into contact with. There is also an archive of ‘back catalogue’ pieces.
