Very important questions to reflect on for island studies.

[UHI Institute for Northern Studies @INS_UHI]

Dr Bobby Macaulay discusses working remotely as an island studies scholar. Am I an #Islander even though I live on the mainland now? Does it matter? Does 'islandness' have an expiry date? @ThinkUHI #research

Residents of #Shetland have supported a study on sustainable #island populations!

Are you aged 18-25 and live in rural Scotland? We are holding online Focus Groups on 16 and 17 April to better understand rural residents' experiences on opportunities for rural jobs and housing? To inform https://t.co/R4rtWgtKwI DM for more details

[Marcus Craigie @MarcusCraigie]

A nice write up about my project and the projects of my colleagues at @HuttonSEGS. Looking forward to the next stage of my project - household surveys in Shetland. @AbdnGeography

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

How can we repopulate and keep #communities strong on Scotland’s islands, how can we make sure there is access to housing in #rural areas and could remote working provide a boost?

These themes are important areas of focus for @HuttonSEGS.
