An interdisciplinary, international community: The International Arthurian Society
The IAS Teacher’s Network is an interdisciplinary, international community of educators committed to bringing the richness and relevance of Arthurian stories into schools and colleges. Part of the International Arthurian Society, the network supports engaging, inclusive, and intellectually rigorous approaches to teaching the legends of King Arthur. Through seminars, shared resources, and collaborative discussion, members exchange ideas on classroom practice, curriculum enrichment, creative pedagogy, and cross-disciplinary teaching. The network welcomes both experienced practitioners and newcomers, offering opportunities to deepen subject knowledge, explore innovative teaching methods, and connect with educators and scholars worldwide who share an interest in Arthurian literature, culture, and myth.
