Frank W. Stahnisch: ” It was a pleasure to have the latest theatre and music performances from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe discussed by the very best experts – artists, poets, historians of Scotland, and media scholars – over sandwiches and tea. As a further delight, the same office at Hope Park Square once accommodated two colleagues from our very own University of Calgary in the 1960s and 1970s, a philosopher and a theologian (their names inscribed in a little office plaque). Being back in Edinburgh was exciting – walking the same streets again, finding a few pubs and cafés from back then, and even meeting one of my former university teachers – long since retired.”
