Burns and the Environment
Join the Queen's Anniversary Prize-winning Centre for Robert Burns Studies as they explore Burns' creative and practical engagement with the environment, as both writer and improving farmer. How was Burns' creativity influenced by the environment? What impact did he have on his natural surroundings? And what might such factors mean for our understanding of Burns in the context of contemporary environmental concerns?
Panellists Professor Nigel Leask, Dr Pauline Mackay, Dr Clark McGinn and Dr Ronnie Young will share their thoughts on this important emerging research from the Centre for Robert Burns Studies and look forward to answering questions from our worldwide audience of alumni and Burns enthusiasts!
