Last Friday evening, Professor Jennifer Smith from the University of Glasgow presented the findings from the Speak for Yersel project – a series of quizzes investigating how use of Scots words (both overt and covert) and grammatical phrasing are distributed around Scotland, both geographically and broadly by class, and explored its interaction with Gaelic in the north-west Highlands.
A video of the evening is available on our YouTube channel:
For this year’s McAlpine Lecture, Professor James Curran (visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde, amongst many other positions held including former chair of SEPA) spoke to us about the state of climate change.
From problems – CO2 emissions leading to global warming, biodiversity loss, extreme weather events and more – to how our perception of the solutions should change, understanding Sustainable Development of the environment supporting society and the the (circular) economy.
