Celebrating humanities research, the @BeingHumanFest is happening from 14 - 23 Nov. Heriot-Watt IRC @hw_irc have curated a programme of events in Edinburgh called ‘Creative Ethnology: Streaming New Voices’, a nod to Hamish Henderson's ‘carrying stream’ in his centenary year 👇
'Who is Europe?' directed by @IanKMcDonald as part of our work in @cohere_eu was well received at the Refugee Film Festival @BABYLON_Berlin today - alongside other hard-hitting short films on refugees, borders, migration and loss.
How might writing and poetry mediate and transform our perceptions of place?
To celebrate the 25th #NationalPoetryDay, @drkarinkoehler and @DrCharlwood have put together a lovely read ahead of their #BeingHuman19 event 'Dear Memory...'

I've spent the last 2.5 years sharing about the importance of looking north. I'm not alone & for good reasons. @scotgov#Arctic Policy Framework speaks about our 'open and outward looking nation' & our #global citizenship https://t.co/oagKHCiM5i 1/3
⏰ The countdown is on! ⏰ Just 4 days to go until we launch the #BeingHuman19 programme - the UK’s only national festival of the humanities!
200+ free events will cast light on new research and discoveries, untold stories, hidden histories and secrets of our towns and cities.
”As new voices on the ’carrying stream,’ our role is not to stand in the mainstream but to open out fresh conduits of the imagination, to do what we love and do it well and stand up passionately for what we believe in.” My latest @bellacaledonia essay https://t.co/Jc9dHKhZOU
A splendid blog post from @KockelU reflecting with generosity of intellect and spirit on his period as editor of AJEC, #anthropolgy, #Europe & a forward vision for supporting research & publication beyond the demands & distractions of bureaucracy
From trawling for treasures in archives to discovering secret lives, places and overlooked histories, the annual Being Human festival is back this November, with all events and activities being led directly by humanities researchers and experts! #BeingHuman19
