From finding a space from which to travel to distant lands through reading books as children, to using their university libraries as undergrads, @louisewelsh00.bsky.social & @damianbarr.bsky.social will reminisce about how libraries helped shape their careers.

What a fantastic time we had at the #AyeWrite book festival with our author, Tim Ingold!
Topics ranged from the 'intimate intensity' of the north, to gender, de-coloniality, and inclusion of students in #anthropology, and the importance of freedom, trust and community to #education 🎓
🎉 Thrilled that the first ever issue of the Scottish Journal of Open Research has published today, #DiamondOA of course!
This will be such a great venue to share good #OpenResearch practice.
Plus I had my first experience of editing a journal article!
