I sat to watch my play, ‘A Waiting Game’. Huge part of 3y research to change #breastcancer narratives that are problematic. The 140 forms have clarified that it resonated with the audience. Proud of the team who brought the stories’ to light. Feedback says play must be seen.

The cast of A Waiting Game included actors & some of those whose stories of breast cancer were captured by @LoriDelRob. This verbatim play was co-created by the @UofGlasgow PhD scholar with woman & men who shared their breast cancer journey with Lori. It was a Tour de Force

On Monday, our Director of Policy @SarahRoller8 enjoyed talking to students from @sgsah at @Blair_Castle about historic houses in the 21st century, and the ways in which policy helps (or hinders!) their survival. An excellent day #LoveHeritage🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏰

Really special to welcome Lewis, Agnes’s grandson, to the archive today with partner Kat and Agnes’s great granddaughter, Freya. Lewis was really generous in allowing our @sgsah researcher, @laurzzs, to interview and map his memories of Agnes as a much loved grandmother ❤️

Meet David, our @sgsah funded intern and PhD student at @uofglasgow. As seen here, you can often find him wearing his ‘Self Portrait at 16’ AGA T-shirt. He says his internship has ‘opened several new avenues of possibility for future collaborations & academic directions.’

A warm welcome to our 10 Global and 10 Scotland-based EARTH Scholars – pictured here at yesterday’s launch of #EARTHScholarship2025, a programme supported by SGSAH & @BCScotland, exploring the role of environmental arts & humanities in addressing the climate emergency. 🌟

Happy #EarthDay from SGSAH, @BCScotland & our EARTH Scholars! Tomorrow, researchers from 10 countries begin the #EarthScholarship2025 programme, collaborating with Scottish-based peers to explore how environmental humanities can address the climate emergency. 🌏

Really enjoyed the Supporting Neurodivergent PGRs workshop by @sgsah and @StirLaw today! We need more events like this!!

Thanks to @sgsah once again I'm in Kurdistan (Iraq) to tackle last yet fundamental part of my PhD at @UofGArchaeo through community engagement & raising awareness through school visits, site visits & community gatherings. So far, I am very pleased!

Still time to buy tickets for a talk about plants of the Highlands and Islands based on my research and other tales at Perth Museum @sgsah @BSBIbotany @WildFlowerSoc @BSBIScotland @BotSocScot @RBGE_Science
