Scottish Literature & Culture Teaching Workshop
On Friday, 31st January 2025, the Scottish Literature and Culture Network invites you to an online workshop focused on mutual exchange, offering practical insights and strategies for teaching Scottish literature and culture. Our aim is to create an open, informal, and collaborative environment where participants can share their experiences, discuss challenges, and explore creative methods. By drawing directly from participants' own seminar practices, we hope to generate practical solutions and develop ideas. The workshop will address difficulties such as challenges related to language barriers, varying levels of students' prior knowledge, and limited access to both primary and secondary material. We will also host guest speakers to discuss integrating museum and archive collections into research-led teaching, focusing on heritage interpretation, storytelling, material cultures, and Scotland's role in Britain's imperial project.

Anglistiktag 2024 (Augsburg, 15-18 September 2024), Sektion: Scottish Futurities
In this section, we seek to explore the diverse expressions of futurities in the Scottish context, from medieval and early modern imaginations of the future to reimaginings of past possibilities, and to opportunities and constraints on futurity within the present moment, particularly amidst current crises. With an inclusive definition of Scottishness as by birth, residence, or choice and encompassing the Scottish diaspora, we invite approaches from fields such as literature, theatre, cultural studies, visual arts, performance, spoken word events and oral storytelling, music, history, and beyond. We welcome papers that explore a wide range of topics related to Scottish futurities. More information can be found here.
