It was great to present two papers this week at the CSCS and UCSL PG symposia! Lots of fruitful and forward-looking conversations around the current state of Scottish literature research. Looking forward to seeing these papers published in the near future ✨

The Supreme Court is wishing a problem away and so gifting more problems to trans lives. Those lives can, must and will continue being lived in their fullness and their joy. My sisters, please give all your love to each other and none of it to the state. hjosephinegiles.substack.com/p/while-the-...

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today. There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath. www.equality-network.org/uk-supreme-c...

Graphic with a purple background. It reads: "We are really shocked by today's Supreme Court decision- which reverses twenty years of understanding on how the law recognises trans men and women with Gender Recognition Certificates. The judgement seems to have totally missed what matters to trans people- - that we are able to live our lives, and be recognised, in line with who we truly are. We will continue working for a world in which trans people can get on with our lives with privacy, dignity and safety. That is something that we all deserve.". The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are in the bottom right.

So before we start exploring the work, let’s begin by introducing Edwin… Edwin George Morgan was born on 27 April 1920 in Glasgow. He is known as one of the most skilled, inventive, and energetic poets in contemporary Scotland, devoting much of his work to his home

To mark #lgbtplushistorymonth we are sharing our collaboration with The Edwin Morgan Trust. Alasdair & Edwin were close friends with much of their work connecting through themes of sexuality and love. Recently researcher Domenico Di Rosa has been mapping these connections, read more on Instagram

‘I owe everything, in a sense, to that relationship.’ #EdwinMorgan #LGBTHistoryMonth

Black and white photograph of John Scott sitting on a wall in a suit and smiling at the camera.

I suppose I was just going around, feeling my way, taking part in this or that but not being very much committed until I met John Scott in 1962 … It was both very physical and it was a love affair. It showed me that it could happen. All through the Fifties, I despaired that it would ever happen … My writing just took off from the time I met him and the great doubts I had about myself as a writer in the Fifties just disappeared and, touch wood, will never come back. I owe everything, in a sense, to that relationship.’ —
