Katharine Stewart-Murray was Scotland's first female MP. Elected in 1923 to represent West Perthshire as a Unionist, she had previously campaigned against women's suffrage. As an MP, Stewart-Murray was known for her opposition to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The document provides a brief weekly summary of Scottish history, including details on Edinburgh's early history as part of the Kingdom of Northumbria and the introduction of Presbyterianism during the Scottish Reformation in the 1500s.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

• Humans are said to have lived in the Edinburgh area for c.11,000 years
• A notable hill fort in the area became the centre of human activity
(probably on Arthur’s Seat or Castle Rock)
• As late as 900 AD, Edinburgh was part of the Kingdom of Northumbria
• In 973 AD, control of Edinburgh was given to Scotland’s king, Kenneth II
• Edinburgh Castle was home to kings and queens for centuries
• The chapel in Edinburgh Castle is the oldest building in Edinburgh
This week in Scottish history…
31 May 1727 – the Royal Bank of Scotland was officially founded. It opened in Edinburgh.
1 June 1878 – First passenger journey on the Tay Rail Bridge. It had collapsed within one year.
2 June 1941 – Clothes rationing was introduced in Scotland during the Second World War
3 June 1774 – Birth of Scottish poet, Robert Tannahill, author of poems such as ‘The flower of Dunblane’
4 June 1977 – Scotland famously beat England at football at Wembley. Scottish fans invade the pitch.
5 June 1868 – Birth in Edinburgh of James Connolly, who was shot after leading a 1916 rebellion in Ireland
6 June 1891 – Death of Scottish-born John A MacDonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister
The Reformation
The Reformation turned Scotland from being a Catholic
country into one with its own Church (mainly Presbyterian).
Until the early-1500s, Scotland was a strongly Catholic country,
but some people were starting to criticise this.. Most famously
this included John Knox.
Various other people were inspired by Marth Luther – a
German who opposed many of the Catholic Church’s actions –
and began to argue for change in Scotland.
Politics was part of this. Many fights took place over Scotland’s
monarch and whether they should be Catholic or Protestant.
By the 1600s, Protestantism was now dominant in Scotland.
