The name given to China's Westernmost province is "Xinjiang" and means "New Frontier."

The region has a long history at the periphery of Chinese Empire, but has only rarely been controlled from the East. Split in two by the Tian Shan Mountain Range it contains two great arid basins, the Tarim and Jungarr.

It borders Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

Welcome to #twitterstorians101

This online workshop for #ozha2018 will be running throughout the day, if it doesn't interest you feel free to mute the hashtag. 😃 If it does, fit yourself into that lecture seat with the wobbly table thing that is just a bit too small, pull out your notebooks and let's begin.

Thread of recommendations for students handing in essays in the humanities, specifically history. Written as I mark. At the very start of your assignment, before you even type an introduction, you should make sure it is clear what question you are answering. I like seeing it in italics on the opening page, but this may vary. Either way, don't keep the marker guessing.
