Mapping Identities Conference Registration now Open
Registration is now open for the UHI Institute for Northern Studies Mapping Identities Conference
The University of the Highlands and Islands Institute for Northern Studies, together with our collaborative partners from the National Library of Scotland and Landscape Research Group, are delighted to announce the launch of Mapping Identities: Visual Depictions of Scotland.
In 2025, UHI Institute for Northern Studies, together with our collaborative partners from the National Library of Scotland and
Landscape Research Group, launched Mapping Identities: Visual Depictions of Scotland.
This project, funded through the generous support of an RSE Research Collaboration Grant, brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explore the ways in which maps have been, and are still, used to interpret and shape Scotland’s understanding of the present, past and future.
On 10thFebruary 2026, the project will host a free hybrid conference at UHI Perth to explore this topic with colleagues.
Registration is now open.
