Researching Scotland’s Ruralities
This one-day workshop "Researching Scotland’s Ruralities: Social Science Perspectives on Current Issues in Rural Scotland" is being convened by the Scottish Consortium for Rural Research (SCRR). SCRR is a major network of Scottish researchers that, to date, has concentrated more on the biological than social-scientific aspects of rural research.
Accordingly, the aim of the workshop is to encourage social scientists (broadly interpreted) working on topics in a rural context to come together to exchange information and insights, and to help SCRR develop a more fully cross-disciplinary approach to rural research. The meeting will have a number of substantive focus points but is also planned to encourage researchers to network.
James Hutton Institute staff Professor Bill Slee, Professor Deborah Roberts and Dr Liz Dinnie will all be speaking at the workshop. Register for your free place on the Researching Scotland's Ruralities event page.
The meeting is supported by SCRR member organisations: James Hutton Institute, University of Edinburgh and SRUC.
