Centre for Scottish & Celtic Studies

At the end of May 2022, Grace was delighted to be awarded £51 from the Centre for Scottish and Celtic Studies which enabled her to attend the Third World Congress of Scottish Literatures online.

There were several panels which were of particular relevance for her own PhD project (which charts Scottish women writers of speculative fiction across the twentieth century), including ‘Scottishness, Gender, and Erasure’, ‘Scottishness, Gender, and the Postcolonial’, ‘Voices from the Margins: Radicalism in Literature and the Arts in Post-war Scotland (roundtable)’, ‘Scottish Modernism’, ‘Scotland and Colonial Contact Zones’, ‘Scottish Literature and Gender in the Nineteenth Century’ and ‘Scotlands in Science Fiction’.

The hybrid panels which she was able to attend were extremely valuable for her ongoing research, providing her with greater literary context for her own area of research interest and keeping her up to date on exciting new projects and recent relevant criticism by both esteemed and emerging scholars in her subject area.
