Dr Endre Szécsényi (IASH Fellow in 2001 and 2008) has been awarded a two-year Marie Curie Fellowship in Aberdeen. He and his family will be moving to Scotland in August and Endre will be pursuing his research at the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen.
Historian Dr Clare Jackson (Trinity Hall, Cambridge) is the presenter of a three-part series on "The Stuarts" which is being shown on BBC2 Scotland on 30 January, 6 February and 13 February, and shortly afterwards on BBC2 elsewhere in the UK. In it Clare argues that the Stuarts, more than any other, were Britain’s defining royal family. In the century to come, not only the political shape of modern Britain would emerge, but the embryonic ideas of a new British identity.
