Awakening Sustainable Pasts: An Island of Maritime Stories

Description

Prof Maxim Fomin (UU) spoke about folklore and the sea, Dr Wes Forsythe (UU) about the Madill collection and historic boats, Dr Jessica Bates (UU and Rathlin resident) on recent oral history material from Rathlin, and Sarah Dargie shared their work in bringing new life to these stories and the design process for this.
