Following the Scottish Government’s acceptance of the Empire, Slavery and Scotland’s Museums report and recommendations, this session will look at the museum sector’s response to this report.
Speakers will also highlight the Delivering Change anti-oppression programme and discuss how museums and galleries can place anti-oppression principles at the heart of their work.
Universities have played a pivotal role in shaping societies, fostering knowledge, and advancing human civilization. Their evolution over centuries has been marked by significant transformations, reflecting changes in societal needs, technology, and educational philosophies. In this blog post, we will delve into the fascinating history of universities, from their humble beginnings in ancient Greece to the dynamic and diverse institutions they are today.
