University of Aberdeen returns to the Edinburgh Festival with events at The Festival of Politics in Holyrood, and a partnership event with Scottish Review of Books at Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Scottish identity and our sense of belonging have been widely debated and discussed in recent years, but Andrew Blaikie’s new book provides a fresh and intriguing perspective. Blaikie, who is Professor of Historical Sociology at the University of Aberdeen, has studied visual material – and photographs in particular – to explore how we express personal, social and national identities through imagery. By analysing this material, he explains the features of what might be called the ‘Scottish social imaginary’. Sponsored by The Scottish Review of Books in association with University of Aberdeen
