BridgING
type: item
description: BridgING is an assemblage of work produced by students from the MA Interior, Architectural & Spatial Design programme at Edinburgh College of Art. This work has been developed through a year-long engagement with Edinburgh’s George IV Bridge, and produced a wide range of creative, critical and imaginative research outcomes and design responses. Through these activities, the student cohort has tested and probed the thresholds and definitions of the interior, to propose original projects that can shape and contribute to the stories of Edinburgh’s rich and vibrant urban context.

Mujeres Tz’utujiles: Recetas para la Recuperación en Chuk Muk
type: item
description: This recipe book emerges from the collective work of the "Recipes for Recovery" project (2023-2025), a transformative feminist and decolonial action-research proposal that is part of the "Ixchel" project. As part of "Recipes for Recovery", we committed to documenting the agri-food traditions within the work of Tz'utujil Maya women who make possible the continuation of Maya ways of life in Chuk Muk after a disaster resettlement. Chuk Muk was developed to house people displaced by a landslide that partially buried the community of Panabaj in 2005. In disaster recovery processes, the inclusion of local culture is important to build and rebuild resilience among resettled communities. Rituals, social organisations, and local crops are part of this culture. With this recipe book, we want to share the way women articulate their present and their Tz'utujil culture by reappropriating the knowledge of plants and food from their mothers and grandmothers. Through work in their family gardens and kitchens, Tz'utujil women have planted the seeds of their own recovery process. These recipes have helped women build important connections between their lives before and their lives now, creating a continuity of Tz'utujil ways of life that endures.

D.T.N. Williamson: Edinburgh’s Pioneer of Hi-Fi Sound Reproduction and Flexible Manufacturing
type: item
description: D.T.N. Williamson was one of the most creative engineers of the second part of the 20th Century. Yet his early life was full of life-threatening illness, failure, and rejection. He overcame all these setbacks. In his 20s, he designed an amplifier that enabled high-fidelity sound to be obtained from gramophones in vogue at that time, of a quality that was far higher than had ever previously been achieved. He devised a “lightweight” pickup for the gramophone needle. Then, he pioneered the use of computers for machining, enabling components to be made to precision, far higher than was available from conventional methods. In parallel, he developed a novel measurement system that was needed for such components. On those foundations, he went on to develop an entirely computer-controlled process for batch manufacture, that became known as “SYSTEM 24”. The Science Research Council appointed Williamson Chairman of its Manufacturing Technology Committee. He fostered the establishment of the “Teaching Company Scheme”, one of the most successful examples of UK industry-university cooperation. He promoted “Grinding Technology” and “Die and Mould” research programmes in which academics in UK universities worked with industrial partners to overcome problems faced by manufacturing industry. Those achievements were recognised by Williamson being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society; and both Heriot-Watt and Edinburgh Universities awarded him honorary degrees of Doctor of Science. This book portrays the fascinating life and work of D.T.N. Williamson.

Heritage in the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) and Beyond
type: item
description: This Blue Paper makes the case for putting Ocean Heritage at the heart of ocean science and sustainable development. Often overlooked in ocean governance, Ocean Heritage—both tangible (like shipwrecks) and intangible (like traditional knowledge)—holds vital insights for shaping effective, inclusive, and climate-resilient marine policy. Produced by the Cultural Heritage Framework Programme (CHFP), the only Ocean Decade programme focused on heritage, the paper shows how cultural perspectives strengthen all 10 Ocean Decade Challenges. Drawing on over 20 global initiatives, it offers practical recommendations to embed heritage in science, planning, and policy. At the Decade’s midpoint, this is a bold call to treat culture not as an accessory—but as a right and a requirement for truly sustainable oceans.

Empowered Journeys
type: item
description: This is the booklet that accompanies the Empowered Journeys exhibition, a co-curated display of artworks and text created by Alexandra Perry, Elizabeth Lydiate, Frankie Vale, Katherine Baker, Mary Geraghty, Penny Wright, and Sarah Browne, people with lived expertise of breast cancer surgery. The booklet also contains a foreword by research fellow Jimmy Turner. The exhibition, and therefore the materials contained within this booklet, are the culmination of a year-long curatorial research project as part of a wider doctoral project being undertaken by Frankie Vale at the University of Glasgow. The project uses participatory approaches to respond to a crisis in representation for the post-surgery body; the current state of representation is wrapped up in detached medical imagery, or concepts of heroism and martyrdom. Although these forms of representation have their place, and are inspiring and aspirational for some, for others they do not feel representative, and can have negative effects. Empowered Journeys speaks to the importance of representation to feel seen, heard, and to feel less alone in your experiences. This guide showcases the artworks that were created when the question of representation was put to a group of women who have been through breast cancer surgery and highlights the themes that thread between the works to build a different understanding of representation, one that is rooted in the lived experience of the women who collaborated on the project. The University of Edinburgh has been instrumental in providing moments of collaboration and dissemination for this research project, helping Frankie to refine ideas and concepts that have then translated into Empowered Journeys itself.

Sistematización de las comunidades de El Palmar, Quetzaltenango: 1999-2024
type: item
description: This book accounts for the historical, geographical, economical and sociocultural information on El Palmar, Quetzaltenango. El Palmar is a Guatemalan municipality destroyed by the eruptions of Santiaguito Volcano in 1983, which was subsequently resettled to a new location. The book describes the local history, traditions and changes of all the communities that compose the territory throughout different timelines. It also shows the culture of the Maya K’iche’, Mam and Q’anjob’al population that reside in the Guatemalan region of the “bocacosta”, of which there are few studies, and provides insight on the development gaps that require local government intervention to improve the people’s quality of life.

I Call It a ‘Garden’, a Place of Seeds
type: item
description: Geoffrey Dutton (1924–2010) was a distinguished biomolecular scientist who was simultaneously also a poet, mountaineer, wild water swimmer, and the creator, caretaker and chronicler of a Highland garden in Perthshire, Scotland. Dutton saw no conflict between science and poetry, and eight acres of a steep and rugged hillside provided him with an experimental ground to explore this and other complex interrelationships in his search for the new. For fifty years, Dutton maintained what he called a ‘marginal garden’ – a marginal site guided with marginal effort to maximum marginal effect. His lifelong ecological dialogue with the garden was ahead of its time and is today largely forgotten, despite Dutton’s multiple publications in both prose and verse. Amid the garden’s slow transition back into the wild margin, this publication is a celebration – of a special place, a singular body of work and an insatiably curious individual.

Rising from the Depths: Utilising Marine Cultural Heritage to Create Social, Cultural and Economic Benefits in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar
type: item
description: The Rising from the Depths Network aimed to identify ways in which the submerged and coastal Marine Cultural Heritage (MCH) of Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Madagascar could stimulate ethical, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth in the region. The work sought to benefit not only social cohesion and poverty reduction within individual states but also to enhance the value, equity, and impact of development in the marine zone. Funded by the UK Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) through the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Network Plus Scheme from 2017 to 2022, the Network co-created a research agenda, organized a series of in-country workshops and events, and supported 27 challenge-led projects across Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Mozambique. This book presents the results and ongoing impact of these projects and outlines the main insights garnered from the work that has taken place to date. Rising from the Depths represents a first attempt to look at the MCH of East Africa in a coordinated and multidisciplinary way, uniting the various existing capacities in the region and giving agency to local communities in the elaboration of research agendas, project design, and resource management.
