Dr Andrew Phemister (IASH): Democracy and the boycott: Reactions to development of Irish boycotting
Hannah Stark (University of Tasmania, IASH): Extinction Afterlives: The Thylacine in the Era of Species Mass-Extinction
A panel discussion with Caroline Bowditch (performance artist and choreographer); Dr Ben Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh); Michael Richardson (Heriot-Watt University). As relaxed performances and BSL interpretation of theatre continue to rise, this panel asks: how will inclusive practice develop in the future? Autism-friendly spaces, D/deaf theatre and neurodivergent- and disabled-led companies all point towards new possibilities for performance by, and with, previously excluded groups. Examples of promising practice will be discussed, along with proposals for the future.
The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) today welcomes its new Director, Professor Steve Yearley FRSE. He is the seventh director of IASH since its foundation in 1969, following in the footsteps of figures such as William Beattie CBE and Susan Manning.
