Very important questions to reflect on for island studies.
Dr Bobby Macaulay discusses working remotely as an island studies scholar. Am I an #Islander even though I live on the mainland now? Does it matter? Does 'islandness' have an expiry date? @ThinkUHI #research

A great month of fieldwork in Shetland for my PhD about population change. Thanks so much to all those who filled the questionnaire in and those who helped to promote the survey. Next steps: data entry and analysis.

Some of the SAGES community had a fantastic time at The Burn for our recent writing retreat. It was 3 days to find some some peace and quiet, surrounded by the beautiful Scottish outdoors to support writing up proposals, manuscripts and other research projects ✍️📚🌎

Are you aged 18-25 and live in rural Scotland? We are holding online Focus Groups on 16 and 17 April to better understand rural residents' experiences on opportunities for rural jobs and housing? To inform ruralfutures.hutton.ac.uk/ DM for more details
A nice write up about my project and the projects of my colleagues at @HuttonSEGS. Looking forward to the next stage of my project - household surveys in Shetland. @AbdnGeography
How can we repopulate and keep #communities strong on Scotland’s islands, how can we make sure there is access to housing in #rural areas and could remote working provide a boost?
These themes are important areas of focus for @HuttonSEGS.
