Sliding doors, or the making of a protest historian?
In the latest blog for our Leverhulme Trust-funded research project, Landscapes of Protest, Dr Iain Robertson discusses engagement with the local environments of protest and their role in understanding the full interaction of nature, space, culture and society, while also reflecting on his own journey as a protest historian
Landscapes of Protest is a collaborative project that investigates how rural workers in the Highlands and Islands defended their livelihoods and ways of life in the age of radical ‘improvements’ which transformed the social and economic basis of Scottish agriculture, 1750 – c. 1820.
