After a hellish year, very chuffed to be graduating ("in absentia") with a distinction from my MA Art & Social Practice @ThinkUHI 🥳I'll hopefully publish some of my final project/dissertation online if it's interesting to folk...

NEW: The Campaign for the Arts has launched a petition, urging @AngusRobertson and the Scottish Government to deliver the £6.6m they promised to Creative Scotland in February.
Especially now, Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises.

🚨🏴🚨🏴🚨
Shocking news: the Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding.
In February, thousands joined our campaign to speak out against a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland.
It worked. Ministers abandoned the cut.
But now they're bringing it back.

🚨 BREAKING:
In a speech later this afternoon, it is expected that Suella Braverman will claim that ‘simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin’ is not sufficient to qualify someone for protection.
This is absurd.

I wrote a blog about the dangers of colonial masculinist fantasies of wilderness in rewilding. These fantasies shape how the land and people of the Highlands and Islands are imagined and inform decisions to transform landscapes.
