Ann McKechin MP and Patrick Harvie MSP will visit the University of Glasgow on 7 September to participate in a round table discussion on sustainability.

The Labour MP and Green MSP will be joined by writer and academic Richard Kerridge and Ann Galbraith from the University of Glasgow’s Safety and Environmental Protection Services to address green issues in Scotland.

Event coordinator John Miller said: “This discussion will bring into focus the current problems we have with sustainability both within and outwith Scotland. It is vital that politicians such as Ann McKechin and Patrick Harvie get involved in lively debates on these issues.”

The round table event is part of the first graduate conference of the Association of the Study of Literature and the Environment UK (ASLE-UK) which will take place over two days with more than 30 graduates from all over the world contributing.

The round table will take place in Gilmorehill G12 and is free and open to the public.  For more information on the conference please visit www.arts.gla.ac.uk/modenv
