This half-day online event, co-organised by the Scottish Arts and Humanities Alliance (SAHA), the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) and the Irish Humanities Alliance (IHA), will explore the progress achieved in implementing the recommendations of the first Joint Bilateral Review of the Irish and Scottish Governments. Arts and humanities will have a major role to play in the successful implementation of the Bilateral Review, and they form the basis for several of the recommendations in the official document. This event will particularly focus on several themes of the review: the Community and Diaspora, Culture and Academic and Research Links. The event will bring together academics, cultural representatives, policymakers and diplomatic representatives with perspectives on culture, diaspora, and cultural diplomacy/relations. It will also reflect on past, present and possible future ways of working together as exemplified by jointly-funded Scottish-Irish research projects.
Speakers include IASH alumna Prof. Gerardine Meaney and chair of the IASH Advisory Board Prof. Sarah Prescott.
