Dr Paul Malgrati in the News
Our very own UHI Dr Paul Malgrati is in the news outlining his research in collaboration with Professor Carruthers at the University of Glasgow.
'Robert Burns ‘supercharged’ haggis to become ‘international icon of Scottish culture’, academics claim, A paper by Professor Gerard Carruthers and Dr Paul Malgrati of the University of Glasgow and the University of the Highlands and Islands reveals how Burns’s 1786 poem, To a Haggis, transformed haggis from a humble peasant dish into a powerful symbol of Scottish identity.' Jane Bradley, The Scotsman.
Great to see press coverage of our research with Gerard Carruthers. We trace the origins of Burns’s ‘To a Haggis’ to nearly 400 years of Scottish “food patriotism”: a tradition of presenting Scotland as a land of plenty in response to English and French portrayals of it as an impoverished wasteland.
